Specialist finance lender MT Finance has officially presented Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Charity with the final proceeds from the fifth annual MT Finance Football Festival, handing over a total donation of £14,824.
The donation follows the high-profile annual charity football match hosted at Emirates Stadium, home of the current Premier League champions. Bringing together professionals, industry partners, and spectators from across the specialist lending sector, the event exceeded its original £12,000 fundraising target through player donations, matchday goal pledges, spectator contributions, and corporate donation matching by MT Finance.
Now in its fifth year, the annual MT Finance Football Festival has established itself as a flagship fixture on the UK specialist finance calendar, uniting the market for competitive sport, networking, and high-impact charitable giving.
Every pound raised from this year’s festival will go directly toward supporting GOSH Charity's life-changing work, funding state-of-the-art medical equipment, pioneering research, and vital support services for seriously ill children and their families.
Raphael Benggio, Director of Bridging at MT Finance, commented:
"It was an absolute honour to present the funds raised from the MT Finance Football Festival 2026 to our incredible charity partner, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. Seeing our industry come together to raise money for such a vital cause is a major highlight from this year’s event. A heartfelt thank you once again to everyone who stepped onto the pitch, cheered from the stands, or donated to make this our most impactful festival yet."
