Another brilliant initiative from Premiership side Wasps, who are calling vulnerable fans who are in isolation.
They are personally calling some of their older fans who are unable to see their family due to he ongoing Pandemic..
☎ So good to speak to one of our fans Brian just now! He’s stuck at home alone and can’t see his grandchildren but thankfully he’s doing fine!

Wasps have been going the extra mile to help their local community.
They’ve donated soft drinks from the Ricoh Arena to local emergency services workers, delivered fresh fruit and veg to the vulnerable and donated left over food from the training ground to the homeless.
LIST: 10 Greatest Wasps players of All Time
10. Dean Ryan
An intimidating back five forward with all the skills. Ensured nobody ever messed with Wasps.
9. Ted Woodward
The blockbusting England winger scored a hat-trick for Wasps as a schoolboy as they toppled Harlequins in the final of 1948 Middlesex Sevens. Played for Wasps for over 17 years, with the legend eventually captaining the side from Number 8.
8. Josh Lewsey
Phenomenal performer. A product of the club who enjoyed a spell at Bristol before returning to the club after his university studies ended. Lewsey then went on to score 78 tries in 266 Wasps appearances.
7. Craig Dowd
The great All Black made a substantial impact during his four-year spell at the club. He then followed this up with three-years at the club as a scrum coach.
6. Simon Shaw
The lock put in a monumental shift for the club between 1997 and 2011 and played a key part in all the club success in this period. A record 339 games for the club, 25 tries and that iconic drop-goal he slotted against Bath in 2000
