Meachers answers call for storage space from Saints supporters

Meachers Global Logistics has stepped in to offer free storage space for the Saints Disabled Supporters’ Association (SDSA) at its Nursling facility near Southampton.

Following recent expansion, the SDSA found themselves in need of more space to hold display equipment and promotional items, which Meachers was happy to supply.

Commercial Director Gary Whittle said: “We were introduced to the SDSA through our association with the Saints Foundation, of which Meachers is a proud patron. Times are hard right now and fundraisers especially are finding it tough.

“We are delighted to be able to support the SDSA and help it allocate funds to where they can make the biggest impact. We’ve agreed to hold the stock for as long as we are making a positive contribution to their work.”

The SDSA was established in 2010 to promote the welfare of Southampton FC’s disabled supporters. Their ambassadors include Rugby Paralympic gold medallist Aaron Phillips MBE and ex-Saints footballer Franny Benali MBE.

Paul Lucas, Secretary for the SDSA, added: “We are so grateful to Gary and the team at Meachers for their support.

“This will have a positive impact on our association. It will allow us to direct more funds to helping those we support and give us the confidence that we have enough storage space to support our work now and in the future.”
