The CPR Cup 2026: our biggest year yet raises £25,000 for Canine Partners

Katie Leuw • July 1, 2026

The CPR Cup 2026, our flagship charity five-a-side football tournament for the property industry, raised an incredible £25,000 for Canine Partners this year, our biggest turnout yet. Twenty teams from across the residential property sector joined us at Powerleague Battersea for a day of football, sunshine and friendly competition, all in aid of the charity, which trains and places assistance dogs with people living with physical disabilities, Canine Partners. 


Record turnout for London's property charity football tournament


This year's field was our largest to date, bringing together familiar faces from Savills, Foxtons, Carter Jonas and Chestertons alongside first-time entrants Fine & Country, Harding Green and London House. Twenty teams in total took part:



A dramatic final at The CPR Cup 2026


The knockout stages delivered plenty of drama, but nothing beat the final. The Harkalm Group x Empty Property Hunters found themselves 3–1 down against Foxtons with under a minute on the clock and somehow fought back to win 4–3, lifting the trophy on their very first CPR Cup appearance.


Individual honours went to Austin Lipman, named Player of the Tournament, and Ashley Mann, who took the keepy-uppy competition with a remarkable 161 touches in 60 seconds.


Thank you to our sponsors


None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors this year, CC Land and Forsters LLP, whose backing helped make the 2026 tournament our biggest and best yet.


Raffle prizes and awards


Alongside the football, this year's raffle was bigger than ever, with every penny raised going straight to Canine Partners. Huge thanks to the companies who donated prizes:


  • A pair of Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses - Oliver Goldsmith
  • Four tickets to Lord's Cricket Ground - The Harkalm Group
  • A Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper for two - MT Finance
  • A vineyard tour and tasting for four guests - Balfour Vineyard
  • A magnum of champagne - Berry Bros. & Rudd
  • A Weber BBQ - Collins Property Recruitment
  • Six bottles of Babylonstoren Rosé 2026 - Dutch & Dutch


On-pitch prizes were just as generous: our tournament champions won corporate BBQ catering for up to 50 people from Meat Street BBQ, plus a session for up to 12 at TOCA Social. Our keepy-uppy winner walked away with a pair of custom football boots hand-painted by sports artist Jordan Dawson, our top goal scorer took home a £50 Megan's voucher and a Pact V60 brew kit, and our Player of the Tournament, Austin Lipman, received a Theragun, donated by Prime Resi.


Food on the day


No CPR Cup is complete without the food, and this year Meat Street BBQ raised the bar on the rooftop, serving up incredible barbecue that had players and supporters going back for seconds all afternoon. A huge thank you to the team for keeping everyone fuelled between matches.
