Saints donates over £3,000 to Willowbrook!

We were thrilled to receive a fantastic donation of £3,285 from St Helens RLFC from their Match Worn Shirt Auction.

Saints have been magnificent supporters of Willowbrook, in addition to Totally Wicked who kindly chose to gift their kit sponsorship for the Saints’ away fixture against Catalans Dragons which was played in Round 7 of Betfred Super League in April.

Furthermore, Totally Wicked donated part of their kit branding on all Saints Junior Replica Shirts in 2024 as well.

The Saints shirts that were worn in the First Team’s fixture in France were put up for auction, with all proceeds going to the Hospice. This gave supporters the chance to own a very unique piece of memorabilia, whilst doing some good for a local charitable cause.

This auction was just one of the initiatives the Club has done this year to support Willowbrook. In August, the Saints held a takeover fixture with the Hospice, with the charity kindly gifting Saints fans plenty of Willowbrook branded goodies, and members of their staff collected donations from supporters around the ground.

Back in June, Head Coach Paul Wellens and Leadership, Culture & Performance Coach James Roby also visited Willowbrook Hospice to present them with their official framed and signed charity partner shirts.

Alun Owen, Corporate Director at Willowbrook Hospice, said: “We at Willowbrook Hospice wish to express our heartfelt thanks to St Helens R.F.C. for their incredible partnership and unwavering support throughout the 2024 season. It has been wonderful to connect with staff, players, and fans of the Club.

“We are looking forward to continuing this meaningful partnership and achieving even greater things together next season.”

Dave Hutchinson, General Manager at St.Helens R.F.C. added: “It is an absolute pleasure for the Club to contribute to Willowbrook Hospice’s fundraising, and we would like to thank our Principal Club partners Totally Wicked for their kind gesture in replacing their logo with Willowbrook Hospice on the Saints’ away shirts for this year’s trip to Catalans Dragons.

“The Hospice does an amazing job for the local community, offering much comfort to those who need it, but to do this costs a massive amount of money, therefore any contribution, large or small is very important.

“Finally,  we would like to thank everybody who bid for the jerseys, or who gave to the collection on our home Super League fixture against Salford Red Devils. You have all helped make a difference, and we will be repeating our support again of Willowbrook Hospice during the 2025 season.”
