Sports in the community

Sellick Partnership actively supports the community through a number of sporting initiatives, including a cricket and a football league, two established football tournaments and a range of events throughout the UK. These events provide professionals with the chance to network and build relationships, all whilst enjoying the benefits of exercise!

The funds raised from our sporting events go to national and local charities such as St Ann’s HospiceLord’s Taverners, me&dee and If U Care Share all of which Sellick Partnership has worked with for a number of years and has built strong relationships with.

Manchester Professionals' Cricket League (MPCL)

Established in 2008 by Managing Director Jo Sellick, the Manchester Professionals’ Cricket League (MPCL) has now become a frequent fixture in the social calendar of professionals based in the area, providing them with an informal and fun platform to network.

We have forged an excellent relationship with the Lord’s Taverners cricket charity, which aims to enhance the lives of children with disabilities to participate in the sport. Having raised in excess of £20,000 for the charity, Jo Sellick was elected to the Lord’s Taverners committee in 2012. All profits raised from the MPCL also go towards St Ann’s Hospice, another charity with whom Sellick Partnership has developed a strong bond with over the years.

To discuss your participation, contact Jo Sellick or Samantha Hattersley.

MPCL Charity Awards Lunch

Each year our cricket league closes with a Charity Awards Lunch – a delicious three course meal and awards ceremony which is held at the fabulous Lowry Hotel each year. This exciting event provides the opportunity for us to raise as much money as possible for the MPCL chosen charities: Lord’s Taverners and St Ann’s Hospice.

Each year, this event sees over 250 delegates from a variety of different companies come together for a day of networking and the chance to relax with their team, colleagues and other businesses from across Greater Manchester. We officially present the trophies to the winning teams, run a charity auction, and hear from some fantastic guest speakers. In the past we have heard from people such as Matthew Hoggard MBE, Bill Beaumont CBE, Geoff Miller OBE, David 'Bumble' Lloyd and Paul Allott. 

To discuss booking your table, contact Jo Sellick or Samantha Hattersley.
