Aston Villa’s shirt sponsor and principal partner Cazoo is marking this weekend’s Cazoo Football Derby by increasing its 'Golden Goals' donation to the Aston Villa Foundation.

As the proud sponsors of both Aston Villa and Everton, who meet for the first time this season, Cazoo won’t be taking sides, but will be doubling their matchday donations to both teams for each goal scored at Goodison Park - from £1,000 to £2,000 for the Aston Villa Foundation and Everton in the Community.

Cazoo, the UK’s leading online car retailer, which makes buying a used car as simple and seamless as buying any other product online, are donating £1,000 to the Aston Villa Foundation for every Premier League goal scored by Aston Villa this season.

With £46,000 already donated to the club’s official charity, and by doubling the matchday donation for this weekend’s Cazoo Football Derby to £2,000 per goal, there’s a chance for both teams to add further funds to their official charities.

Alex Chesterman OBE, Founder & CEO of Cazoo, said: "We're delighted to be closely associated with both clubs, but this means we will very much be sitting on the fence this weekend and not taking sides but we are looking forward to hopefully seeing lots of goals during the Cazoo Football Derby to benefit both the Aston Villa Foundation and Everton in the Community."

Guy Rippon, Head of the Aston Villa Foundation, said: "Cazoo has already shown a clear commitment to supporting the local community here in Aston and the wider areas. We're enjoying working with them and helping priority groups and tackling societal issues across Birmingham. Fingers crossed for a high-scoring game."
