FOOTBALL Association disability and mainstream referee Allen Lewis, who fundraises for many charities has got the 'green thumbs up' from Tavistock firm Abbey Garden and the John brothers.

Allen, co-founder of the Tavi Specials, said: 'Abbey Garden who are now in their new store at Pitts Cleave Industrial Estate are strong supporters of the Son-Rise Cup festival and local sports clubs and to have their support by sponsoring my kit and equipment is an honour.

I always feel extremely privileged to work with the local businesses around Tavistock; without them I wouldn't raise the amounts for charity that I have, thats a fact!  Abbey's new set up is fantastic and I look forward to working with them in the future.'
