We get inundated with requests everyday to support fundraising and charity events. The majority of these are run by volunteers and a great credit to them for taking the time and effort to raise valuable funds. Unfortunately we cannot support every request however, we do support charities that have touched the lives of family and friends within our company.
One charity we had an affinity with was The Adam Stansfield Foundation, which was set up by Adam's family following his untimely death from Bowel Cancer in 2010. Adam was a professional football player for Yeovil Town (2001 - 2004), Hereford United (2004 - 2006) and Exeter City (2006 -2010). Adam scored the 2nd goal for Exeter in the National Conference Play Off Semi-Final against our local side Oxford United, at the Kassam Stadium, which took the game into extra time. Exeter went on to win the game 4 - 3 on penalties but lost the final to Morecambe a few weeks later. The following year they did win their place back in the Football League , beating Cambridge United 1 - 0 a game Adam started.
The following year he was part of the Exeter team than one back to back promotions, scoring 10 goals in 37 appearances. Adam then scored 8 goals in 2009/10 season before having his career cut short with the cancer diagnosis.
