Sav's Supporting the William Hill Foundation

Macesport client Robbie Savage has been back from Africa for a month now and whilst he was there he was asked to become the Patron of the William Hill Foundation – which he was delighted to accept.

Sav said "Being in Africa made a huge impression on me and the rest of the William Hill team and we are all keen to help the community in Ol Maisor as much as we possibly can".

"It’s a big ask though – there is so much to do!".

A new team of William Hill people will be going back in February and Sav is keen to help generate as much publicity and raise as much money as he can to help pay for the work needed at the school.

Robbie has spoken to some of his football contacts and has arranged for a celebrity charity football match to kick start the fund raising campaign!

On Sunday 9th December at the Six Fields Stadium in Northampton Sav's celebrity team will take on Anthony Costa from Blue and his celebrity team to play for The William Hill Foundation Cup.
