A SUFFOLK charity has received a £200 donation thanks to the generosity of a local business.

Andy Wilding of Globex Freight Management Ltd sponsored the fees of the match officials at the Suffolk Champions Charity Cup and Shield matches played last week.

The match officials in turn selected which charity would benefit, with both opting for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich.

Suffolk FA Workforce Development Manager Alan Dale said: “I am really grateful to Andy and Globex Freight Management for their generous donation to St Elizabeth Hospice on behalf of the match officials for the two inaugural Suffolk Charity competitions.

“The match officials were able to choose their chosen charity and my thanks to the two teams of officials for donating their time to support the competitions.”
