MALVERN-based housing provider Fortis Living handed over a cheque for £600 to the Mercian Junior Football League.

The donation was made during a recent finals day held by the league at Malvern Town's stadium in Langlands Avenue.

Sue Heelas, assistant director of housing at Fortis, attended to present the cheque and watch some of the games. Fortis, formerly Festival Housing, has sponsored the league for over 20 years, benefitting thousands of children.

She said: “We are very pleased to be able to offer our continued support to the junior football league. It’s my first visit to one of the finals and it's wonderful to see how enthusiastic the children are.”
