WORCESTER Warriors are looking for public support - not on the pitch but in cyber space.

The team's Community Foundation is campaigning for votes from the local public after being nominated to win a £2,000 cash prize by Magnet Trade’s Worcester, as part of the kitchen and joinery manufacturer’s Community Champions campaign.

A total of 169 charities, each representing a local Magnet Trade store, have been nominated nationwide. A pot of £10,000 will be split regionally between the ten most voted for causes, and an additional £1,000 awarded to the public’s overall favourite.

Bake Off star Richard Burr, who is the face of the campaign, said: "I’ve been a customer at Magnet Trade for quite some time, so it’s great to be supporting this worthwhile campaign which rewards unsung community heroes. I urge everyone, tradesperson or not, to visit the website and cast your vote to

support a community champion in your area.”

Alison Coleman, marketing manager, added: “In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in our staff taking up charity and community challenges to raise money. So, Community Champions is our way of acknowledging the efforts of our staff and rewarding local good causes close to our trade stores.”

To find out more about the campaign go to community.magnettrade.co.uk. and support your local Community Champion by visiting magnettrade.co.uk/branch/worcester and voting until March 31.
