BOSP – Brighter Opportunities through Supported Play
Savings Guru have agreed to support Billericay based charity BOSP in 2018-19.
As part of their sponsorship of Billericay Town FC, striker Jake Robinson was sponsored by the firm for the 2018-19 season with Savings Guru agreeing to donate £10 to BOSP for every goal the forward scores in all competitions for the club. Robinson joined Billericay for a (then) club record fee in 2017 with the former Brighton striker scoring a phenomenal 57 goals last season including the goal of the season from inside his own half away at Dulwich Hamlet.
Sadly, Robinson was sold at the end of 2018 by Billericay to Maidstone United with the forward on an incredible 17 goals for the season, despite a month out with injury! A cheque for £170 was presented to BOSP to mark this.
Savings Guru also held a raffle at the 2018 Billericay Christmas Market, raising a further £100 for the charity who look after over 600 children and young people with very serious disabilities all over Essex and rely 100% on donations.
It is hoped that further initiatives will be announced shortly, once discussions with Billericay Town FC have concluded on the sponsorship arrangements in light of Robinson’s departure.
