THE Ollie Young Foundation is delighted to have received a cheque for £250.
Gub Singh, who recently started working as a referee at Ashridge Park Football Club, decided to donate his wages to two charities.
One of these is The Ollie Young Foundation, a charity dedicated to funding research into prevention and cure of brain tumours in children.
Ollie’s mum, who set up the foundation when her young son died as a result of a brain tumour, says: “We are absolutely delighted that Gub has donated this sum to us.
“It’s so lovely for him to think of us as a family.
“Gub’s middle son grew up with Ollie, so there is a special connection.”
“The other part of his donation is going to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, a cancer treatment centre, where his father-in-law was treated.
“The family, and especially Gub’s wife, Sue, is very grateful for the care her father received there.”
Gub’s football club meets at St Crispin’s School in Wokingham.
It has 25 junior teams playing in the East Berkshire Football Alliance, and three adult teams playing in the Reading Football League and District Sunday League.
