Aston Villa donate 850 matchday lunches to charity after Premier League suspended

Aston have donated 850 packed lunches to charity after the Premier League was suspended.

It was announced on Friday morning that all games would be postponed until April 3 in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

850 staff lunches and hot food for their postponed game is being donated to support homeless charities.

The West Midlands club made the choice to donate all of the food to charity - and are calling on organisations to get in touch to collect from Villa Park.
