West Ham United Women’s team and their sponsors Rainer Hughes Solicitors have joined forces to donate hundreds of Easter eggs and food packages to local Foodbanks to benefit local people in Newham.
Irons Supporting Foodbanks, the fan-led organisation which collects food and cash donations for Newham Foodbank in Beckton, visited Chadwell Heath this week, where Women’s team players Leanne Kiernan and Nor Mustafa helped load up the van with Easter eggs and food packages for distribution over Easter weekend.
Rainer Hughes Solicitors, who have provided sponsorship and support for the Women’s team since 2017, have also gone the extra mile to spread Easter cheer to those in need, by donating 25 food packages and 50 Easter eggs for Brentwood Foodbank in Essex.
Friend of Claret and Hugh John Ratomski from Irons Supporting Foodbanks welcomed the Club’s donation to Newham Foodbank at a time of year when many youngsters have to go without a traditional Easter treat.
He said: “We were delighted to be introduced to the Women’s team new sponsor Rainer Hughes and learn about their commitment to working with the local community. The donations of 50 Easter eggs and 25 large food parcels to Newham Foodbank were a bonus, and we thank Rainer Hughes on their behalf for this great gesture. We look forward to developing this very positive community relationship.
“We also acknowledge Jack Sullivan’s support in facilitating the partnership and introducing us to the West Ham Women’s team.”
