STEVE Worrall will offer further support to homeless charity Routes to Roots Poole at his testimonial meeting on Wednesday.
When the initial staging was postponed earlier in the season, Worrall donated the buffet food from the event, and there will now be a donation point set up at Wimborne Road for items of food, clothing and toiletries.
It is set to be an exciting night with former world champion Artem Laguta making his first appearance at the Dorset venue, and former Belle Vue favourite Matej Zagar also involved.
Worrall said: “After the postponement of my original testimonial date, I went to their HQ in Poole to donate the food from the night's buffet, and I must say it left a big impression on me.
“It really got me thinking about if there was anything further I could do to help this amazing charity and the thought struck.
“I asked the guys if there was anything they were struggling with, donations wise, and there are a few bits and pieces they could use a little extra help with.
“I honestly can't explain the impact that just one visit had on me, to see so many vulnerable people who need help and how happy that buffet made them.”
