👏 Community Impact at Aspull RUFC 👏

A huge thank you to Tilbury Douglas for supporting Aspull RUFC by carrying out improvement works at Woodshaw Park, including repairs to the car park and terracing, fixing picnic benches, installing facia boards, patching terracing areas and refreshing safety markings on steps. These improvements will help keep the facilities safe, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone who uses them.

Aspull RUFC were full of praise for the support they received:

"I cannot thank Tilbury Douglas enough for their help and assistance; it is appreciated by all at Aspull. It really is great to see a local company put something back into the community for the social benefit of all who use our facilities."

This is exactly what Match My Project is all about, connecting businesses with local community organisations to deliver meaningful social value and create lasting benefits for residents.

Thank you, Tilbury Douglas, for making a real difference in the community, and well done to Aspull RUFC for continuing to provide such a valuable local facility. 💙🏉

We absolutely love this video to launch the new kit for Wigan Athletic. Filmed at Lancashire Mining Museum in Astley which is rich in history of our mining heritage.

Dee had the pleasure of meeting 94 year old Eric today who is very much still an active volunteer at the mining museum. What an amazing story he had to tell about his 14 year career starting in 1946 where he worked his way up to his favourite position as a collier. Always looking for volunteers in various fun and interesting roles. 💜⭐
