ROBBIE TEAMS UP WITH PEPSI MAX TO LAUNCH
‘TRANSFORM YOUR PATCH’
‘Transform Your Patch’ is one of the most ambitious community-led regeneration schemes to take place in the UK and will create great outdoor spaces for people to enjoy through a series of projects.
The campaign, a partnership between leading environmental regeneration charity Groundwork and favourite soft drink brands from Britvic and PepsiCo, will see Robbie and three other famous faces championing outdoor projects including playgrounds, picnic areas and parks, 5 a side football pitches and skate parks.
Robbie is representing 5 a side football pitches and is battling it out against other celebrities to win a prize fund of £100,000 for pitches across the UK. He will be drumming up public support and encouraging people to vote for a 5 a side football pitch in their region and support his team.
If Robbie’s team gets the winning amount of votes then 5 a side football pitches will benefit from the £100,000 prize fund.
Squaring up against Robbie will be Denise van Outen campaigning for playgrounds, Fazer rallying for skate parks and Emma Willis championing picnic areas and parks. All four are keen to win and are calling on the UK public to vote for a project. Each vote made will support the celebrity’s project team, helping them to potentially secure the £100,000 prize fund.
Robbie says, “I grew up playing on 5 a side football pitches with my mates. Being involved in ‘Transform Your Patch’ means that I can help ensure that the next generation of footballers have clean, all weather facilities to play on, just like I did when I was younger. 5 a side football pitches are such an important part of the community because they give footballers of all ages a place to practice their skills and have fun when they compete.
