Connolly Scaffolding is organising a charity football tournament in memory of Wayne Connolly, its Managing Director and former NASC President, who died suddenly shortly before Christmas last year.

The event, named The Connolly Cup, will take place on 18 July 2026 and will raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

According to the fundraising page, Connolly Scaffolding is entering a number of teams and is inviting clients and suppliers to take part. The company said the tournament will bring people together to play football, celebrate Wayne’s life and raise money for the charity.

Wayne was described by the company as its Managing Director, mentor and friend.

“Wayne was a big believer in giving back, and raising money for charity was one way he was able to do that,” Connolly Scaffolding said on its JustGiving page.

The MND Association supports people affected by motor neurone disease in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It also funds research and campaigns for better care.

Donations made through the JustGiving page will go directly to the MND Association.

At the time of writing, the page had received its first donation, with £100 raised online plus Gift Aid. The page is listed as being in memory of Wayne Connolly.

Those wishing to donate can do so via Connolly Scaffolding’s JustGiving page.
