The Pavers Foundation, charitable initiative of multi-channel footwear retailer, Pavers, has recently donated £800 to Ingles Juniors FC, on behalf of Gail Wilmore, Manager of Pavers in Shepshed. The grant was made through the Pavers Foundation employee grant scheme, which makes a difference to hundreds of charities close to the hearts of colleagues of the business.

Thank you for awarding this funding to the club.”
Josh Turner also thanked the Foundation on behalf of the children and parents who support Ingles FC ; “We just waned to say thank you so much for helping us to purchase this equipment for the club, it really does make a huge difference and goes a long way to supporting the teams”.
