Vertu Nelson supports Burnley FC food bank collection

Vertu Nelson Land Rover partners with Burnley FC to support local food bank collection at a recent home match at Turf Moor.

As part of the initiative, a Range Rover, provided by Vertu Nelson Land Rover, was stationed outside the stadium to serve as a collection point. The effort was complemented by a Golf from Vertu Skipton Volkswagen and a visually striking, branded American-style school bus, creating multiple collection points for fans to contribute to the cause.

Both the Range Rover and the Golf were driven to the stadium filled with food already collected by Vertu Nelson Land Rover.

Allison Reede, head of business at Vertu Nelson Land Rover, said: "It's an honour for Vertu Nelson Land Rover to support the Burnley community in this vital cause. As we join forces with Burnley FC, we're not just reinforcing our commitment to community welfare but also strengthening the bond between the club and its supporters."

Finley Wilkinson, partnerships manager at Burnley FC, added: “As a club, we place huge value on our work within the local community and are delighted to have joined forces with Vertu Motors on an initiative that benefits a hugely important cause. The food kindly donated by both Vertu Nelson Land Rover and fans attending the match is a huge boost for the community foodbank, and the success of the event reflects the way in which our partnership extends beyond football to help those who need it most.”

Vertu Motors, the Official Automotive Retailer Partner for Burnley FC for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, is taking an active role in community engagement and social responsibility.

Robert Forrester, chief executive of Vertu Motors and a dedicated Burnley fan, added: "Supporting the Burnley FC in the community foodbank is a reflection of our values at Vertu Motors. Located in the heart of Burnley, this initiative is a lifeline for many, and we're proud to contribute to its mission."
