Today he has sent a message of support and a generous donation of £35,000 to help fund the community effort to get food and medicines to those most in need in the Basildon borough.  “I am so impressed by the way the community in Basildon is pulling together,” Noble said. “It is so important at this time we all do what we can to look out for one another. I have spoken before about how excited I am by what I see happening in Basildon and the potential for the future and I felt it was important to send a token of support at this time of need.”

Basildon Council Leader Gavin Callaghan has thanked Mark Noble for his support. “It is a great boost at these challenging times to know that our friends continue to Believe in Basildon,” he said. “The donation will be administered by the community hub set up by the council to work with community volunteers and other local organisations to support vulnerable people through these difficult times. It is greatly appreciated.”

The £35,000 donation is from Mark Noble and Revenue and Capital, a company concerned with generating revenue and capital for local authorities with which Mr Noble is associated.
