SR Timber raises fun and funds for charity
26 February 2019A community charity event in north Nottinghamshire that was the brainchild of SR Timber has raised £1,229.88 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The Family Fun Day event came about after the timber and roofing batten importer looked at ways to support both its chosen charity and the local community close to its headquarters in Huthwaite.
SR Timber teamed up with Teversal FC, the grassroots football club that it sponsors, and all profits from the event have been donated to the BHF – a charity that SR Timber chose to partner with last summer. The Fun Day was held in October and was the first fund-raising event for the BHF by SR Timber.
Teversal FC – which plays in the East Midlands Counties Football League – hosted a 5-a-side tournament, a hog roast and a ghost walk, finishing off with a spectacular firework display at the newly named SR Timber Arena.
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Jordan Smith was on hand to give out medals to junior footballers taking part in the tournament, and he also helped the club to mark its centenary by unveiling a plaque.
