Not only is Willen FC a non-profitable club with the membership and sponsorship money it receives being used to provide teams and players with up-to-date equipment and facilities, but the club also plays a significant role in nurturing and developing local talent. We look forward to continuing our support of Willen FC and we wish all teams the best of luck with their upcoming matches!”
Pete Morris, Chairman of Willen FC said: “We’re extremely grateful to Steven Eagell Toyota for supporting the Willen World Cup. Events such as these not only bring together around 2,000 children and their families to have fun and create fantastic memories, but they are also vital to help us raise funds to keep costs down for our players, making it as affordable as possible and enabling us to buy essential equipment for the club.
“With the funds received, we’ll be making donations to Willen Hospice and Emily Star, two local not-for-profit organisations that have touched the lives of so many people living in and around Milton Keynes.”
