Natural beauty brand scores with vegan football club Forest Green Rovers

A Greater Manchester manufacturer of vegan beauty brands has teamed up with the UK’s first vegan football club, Forest Green Rovers.

The collaboration will see Bury-based Faith in Nature sell a range of Forest Green Rovers products.

They include a body wash and a hand wash that will be used in all bathrooms at The New Lawn, FGR’s stadium in Gloucestershire, during the 2019/20 season.

The range contains Epsom salts to aid sports recovery, as well as extracts of grass taken from the certified vegan Forest Green Rovers pitch.

The team plays on a vegan pitch, fertilised with Scottish seaweed and cut by a solar powered robot lawnmower.

Forest Green Rovers is a 100 per cent vegan football club committed to sustainability and is aiming to ‘green up football.’

Joy Parkinson, CEO of Faith in Nature, said: “We are proud to be supporting Forest Green Rovers Football Club.

“No football team in the world is doing more for sustainability and environmental awareness than Forest Green Rovers.

“We’ve been baking those values into our business for 45 years now and are so pleased to be doing our bit to spread the green word in the sporting world.

"We wish Forest Green Rovers a fantastic upcoming season and will be supporting them every step of the way, in their endeavours both on and off the pitch.”

Forest Green Rovers New Lawn and Epsom Salt sports recovery hand wash and body wash is available online and in health food shops.
