Leigh have donated £10,000 to help Wigan borough’s battle against coronavirus.

The Championship club handed over £10,000 to the Leigh hub, which will go towards supplying food and other essential items to those in need.

Centurions owner Derek Beaumont said: “The club is dependent on the community and I have always said we are just custodians of the club helping to steer it so it’s important to ensure we help those most in need during these times.

“I’m delighted the club has made this pledge for a fantastic support system in Leigh’s community hub.

“The real champions are the staff and volunteers that are engaging with the public and transforming the money into something which makes a huge difference to people.”
