Radstock on the Road to Recovery

The Coronavirus crisis has prompted many acts of generosity, even at a time of economic crisis. Local sports Clubs, like many other community groups, have been desperate for support as their facilities remain closed. Radstock Town Football Club had planned an ambitious programme of renovations, in preparation for next season, yet their finances had been hit by a premature end to the 2019/20 season and a loss of valuable gate receipts. 

Unperturbed, the Club pressed on with their plans, largely thanks to the generous support of fans and players, volunteering their time to complete the work. Yet goodwill can only get you so far and for the Miners to arrive at their ultimate destination, they were going to need someone to help them on their way. 

Radstock Town Chairman, Simon Wilkinson, explains, "A month ago, at a time when there was no real idea of when some kind of normality would return, the owner of A37 Vans, Elliot Bansal, offered the club a life line by promising to donate £200 for every van he sold during May in an effort to boost our fighting fund.

Wind the clock forward thirty days and we are very happy to announce that this extraordinary act of generosity has resulted in Elliot giving the club an amazing £4,000!

There aren't the words to describe our gratitude for this selfless gesture and we look forward to seeing him and his team at Southfields in the near future to thank them all personally. In the meantime please keep supporting local business's because they support us."

A37 Vans is a family run business based at the Temple Bridge Business Park, Temple Cloud.
