A charity football match is being planned to honour the memory of Alfie Lewis, a 16-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in South Essex. The incident occurred in November 2025 in the Hockley area. A 15-year-old boy was subsequently charged with his murder.
The event, organized by Alfie's family and community supporters, aims to raise funds for anti-knife crime initiatives and to celebrate his life. It is scheduled to take place later in 2026, with details on the venue and participating celebrities to be announced.
Local authorities and community groups have reiterated their commitment to tackling youth violence in the wake of the tragedy. The planned match is seen as a positive community response to a devastating loss.
