In April 2023, Osiah Spelman, 16 was playing in a video game for Helston AFC when he sustained a dreadful ankle fracture in the last couple of minutes of the match.
Osiah was required to the healthcare facility by ambulance where he remained for a couple of days prior to coming home. He then needed to go back into the healthcare facility for an operation where pins and plates were put in his ankle.
Following the mishap, the club chose to get a sports mishap insurance coverage claim to help Osiah who was hectic studying for his GCSEs which were only days away.
Chairman of Helston AFC Paul Hendy informed the Packet: “As a club, we constantly wish to make certain we take care of our gamers.
“We do have a sports accident insurance that we took out which does cost a significant amount per year, but we think if someone is off work, they aren’t going to be out of pocket.”
The claim was accepted, and the money was moved recently.
However, Osiah chose rather of keeping the money for himself, he would contribute the whole payment towards the acquiring of much-needed materials for the club’s selected charity for a variety of years, the Helston & Lizard Foodbank.
