The Chair of Three Rivers District Council, Councillor Phil Williams, has selected Watford Football Club’s Community Sports and Education Trust as one of two chosen charities.
Cllr Williams has also chosen to support Sustainable Three Rivers (S3R), and is hoping to raise £3,000 or more for his chosen charities by hosting a variety of events for the municipal year.
Earlier this year, Cllr Williams, who represents the Chorleywood South and Maple Cross ward, took the reins as Chair and will serve a 12-month term. The Chair’s role is a-political, presiding over Council meetings and officially representing the Council at public engagements.
The two chosen charities do fantastic work in the community, with the Trust having supported and engaged with people and communities through sport and physical activity in Watford and Three Rivers for over 30 years.
Meanwhile, S3R is a non-profit group founded by local residents with the aim to help people make lifestyle changes to live sustainably and promote local community groups and projects linked to sustainability.
On the selection, the Trust’s Head of Business Services, Steve Alexander, said: “We’re honoured to have been selected by the Chair of Three Rivers District Council, Cllr Phil Williams, as one of his chosen charities.
“Three Rivers District Council has been a valuable partner of ours for many years, and with several of our projects based in the area, particularly our many mental and physical health, and wellbeing initiatives, his support of the Trust will feed back into his communities. We thank Cllr Williams and those who support him over the course of his term.”
Cllr Williams said: “I am delighted to support Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust and Sustainable Three Rivers this year. These two charities do marvellous work for our district, and I want to support them as much as I can by raising funds and awareness of the vital work that they do.
“Throughout the municipal year, I will be hosting a variety of fun events, such as a quiz night, football golf and frisbee golf in partnership with Everyone Active, and we’re even exploring a stadium climb event at Vicarage Road where we will go up and down every step at the stadium to raise funds for the two charities. I hope the events will be well attended, and well exceed my £3,000 target.”
Rosi Jordon, Chair of S3R, said: “We are delighted at Sustainable Three Rivers that Cllr Williams has chosen us as one of his two selected charities.
“Sustainability is vitally important in every area of our lives, so huge thanks to Cllr Williams for recognising this. We are very excited about the impact his support will have on our local community. We aim to help many more residents make positive changes to their lifestyles in order to protect the planet.”
