Nationwide Vehicle Assistance (NWVA) has announced it will play a charity football match against Morelli Masters to raise funds for the charity, DEBRA UK.

DEBRA is a national charity for people living with the rare and genetic skin blistering condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa, also known as ‘Butterfly Skin’.

The match will take place at the London Stadium on 15 October and played in honour of industry stalwart Bob Linwood, who passed away earlier in the year.

During a long and distinguished career in the sector, Bob helped set up AutoRaise in 2015 and remained CEO of the charity until 2021. In 2023 he and wife Morag then formed Apprenticeship Central and ABLE TO in order to help businesses develop their own apprenticeship strategies.

NWVA hopes to play the Bob Linwood Trophy match on an annual basis, raising funds for different charities each year.

It is now welcoming sponsors for this year’s game.
