Football For Change: Winn Group Supports Big Fundraiser

'}}

Winn Group was delighted to sponsor and attend the recent Football For Change charity fundraising event, helping to raise £350,000 for disadvantaged children in economic hardship.

Aiming to provide opportunities through projects in education, employment, and sport for those unable to realise these ambitions themselves due to circumstances at home, the charity has already helped children from some of the most deprived communities in the UK.

The cause received a significant financial boost as a result of the night, which was hosted by Vernon Kay and had a live performance from Noel Gallagher. Among the star-studded list of attendees was footballer Jamie Carragher, Coleen Rooney, and comedian Jason Manford.

Winn Group Head of Business Development Mark Pallas said: “We were delighted to support this incredibly worthy cause by sponsoring the event.

“The Football For Change night itself was incredibly well done and everyone had a great time, but the money raised and the difference it will make to disadvantaged children makes all the effort from the organisers worthwhile.”

An auction held on the night helped boost the coffers, as celebrities and business leaders opened their wallets in the name of charity.
