Green 4 Motor Company and local rugby club Old Leamingtonians strengthen their partnership by collecting donations

Green 4 Motor Company have sponsored the local rugby club for the last two seasons, forming a strong relationship between them both. This Christmas, both wanted to support those in need in their local communities, so came together to drive as many donations as possible.

More and more people are now having to rely on support from foodbanks to keep food on the table, as the cost of living crisis continues to push more families into poverty. This has caused foodbanks to struggle to meet demand, with less being donated from local people.

With a dealership in Coventry, Leamington and Stourbridge, each showroom became a donation hub, as well as the Old Leamingtonians Clubhouse on Bericote Road. After a great combined effort, receiving donations from customers, staff, players and parents, together managed to donate a large variety of food and other essential items to the Coventry Foodbank.

Commenting on the drive for donations, Scott Craig, the Director of Rugby at the Old Leamingtonians said: “All of us here at the Old Leamingtonians, and those over at Green 4, felt it was more important than ever to contribute to the local community at a time of year that is so difficult for many.

"I’m really proud of the amount of donations that we have received here at the club and I’m hoping it will make a real difference to those that need it over this Winter period.”

Donations can still be made throughout the winter period at the dealerships and Rugby Club.
