TWO Warrington Wolves stars were on hand to inform businesses how their involvement with the Wolves Foundation can make a real difference at last Thursday's community business patron event.

Ashton Sims and Roy Asotasi joined representatives from 40 companies to hear the work the charity has been carrying out in recent months, as well as plans for the year which will see the foundation celebrate its tenth birthday in June.

Businesses which want to get involved will be awarded a patronage to recognise their financial support - a move which council leader and foundation chairman, Terry O'Neill, says has endless potential.

"What we do as a foundation is something special and everyone who has a business in the town should be made be that we are in the community doing what we do," he said.

"Because we are creating good young people and them good young people can become employees of the future."

Asotasi, who has been taking part in the charity's pen-pal project, admitted players can play crucial role in raising awareness of how people and businesses can help.

"The whole part of it is changing lives and changing people - that is a big part of Warrington Wolves," he said.

"For us as players we are doing what we love to do and are looked upon as role models so we have to make sure we act like them.

"Here we are touchable and the players are willing to take part and help out - what better way for us to be involved with the community than by helping the foundation."

The prop also admitted the change of responsibility offers him a welcome distraction from the pressures of performing on the pitch.

"As a rugby leaguer player you are constantly soaked in with sport and that is all we do," he added.

"It is nice to have a change of things and is nice to see where the foundation is going and looking through 2015.

"It is exciting as players and nice to play a part as the more people see players involved with the club and brand, the more they want to get involved so it puts a good message out there."
