AND FINALLY
Buildbase adds support for non-league
Builders merchant chain Buildbase has launched its Community Club Award for non-league football clubs that have gone above and beyond to support their local community through the pandemic. Two top prizes of £25,000 worth of building materials will go to the clubs that can best demonstrate support for their community as well as how they will use the materials to revamp their facilities.
The Buildbase Community Club Award is open to all clubs taking part in the Buildbase FA Trophy and Vase competitions. Clubs have until 28 March 2021 to apply online at
Buildbase.co.uk. Six finalists will be invited to present their case for the award and pitch their
renovation project to a panel of judges from Buildbase and the FA. Winners will be announced in April with a special presentation at the Buildbase FA Trophy and Vase Final in May.
Clubs will be encouraged to get fans to support their application through the Buildbase website and social media. The club with the most votes will score a “golden ticket” with automatic entry to the final.
Over the coming weeks Buildbase branches across England will be helping clubs to plan and cost their projects. The merchant is offering trade prices on building materials to clubs taking part in the Buildbase FA Trophy and Vase, which is became the title sponsor of in 2016.

Permaroof give back to charity close to its heart
Permaroof, part of Permagroup, has presented a cheque for £2,000 to its partner charity, Heart Link, in aid of its 20th birthday celebrations.
The regional children’s charity provided
support and care to managing director Adrian Buttress’ granddaughter when she had lifesaving heart surgery just days after she was born. River Mai Bishop (pictured)had a major seven-and-a-half- hour operation at the East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre at Glenfield Hospital, in Leicester, to enlarge her heart, when she was just eight days old. Buttress said: “The support our family received from Heart Link was truly incredible and so, when it came to selecting Permaroof’s first official charity at the start of 2020, it was clear what our choice was going to be. I will forever be grateful to the team at Heart Link for everything they’ve done to support River.”
