Camden Unity Cup Festival

  •  August 7, 2018   — August 7, 2018
  • 09:00 am — 04:00 pm

The Camden Unity Cup Festival 2018, held at Coram’s Fields was a great success with hundreds of players and guests enjoying a sunny filled day of football tournaments, inflatables, smoothie bikes, sports tasters, live performances and more! It was the 21st Annual Camden Unity Cup, and this year’s theme was the World Cup.

The event was organised by a steering group of 10 young people who design the promotion, the site planning and activities. They were joined by a further 45 young people on the day acting as stewards. We were also lucky to have 16 staff members from Basis Research join as corporate volunteers too.
