Bellway funds new training tops for Cramlington football team
A boys’ football team in Cramlington will be able to keep warm during training this winter thanks to a local housebuilder.
Bellway North East, which is building new homes at Foxton Mill, off Fisher Lane in Cramlington, has donated £500 to sponsor training tops for Cramlington United FC’s U12 Jaguars.
The team trains and plays at the Northburn Sports and Community Centre in Crowhall Lane, Cramlington, and competes in the Northumberland Football League. Cramlington United FC was formed in 2010 and has up to 60 teams and hundreds of players on its books.
Mark Rutter, the team’s assistant coach, said: “This generous donation has enabled us to buy training tops for the whole squad. Last winter, the boys were having to wear their own tops and it looked a real mishmash of colours and materials.
“Now that we have the same tops for everyone, which feature the Bellway logo on the back, the squad looks really smart and professional. The new tops not only keep the boys warm in the cold dark months during training but they give them a real sense of belonging and identity.
“As a club we rely on sponsorship to survive and it is great that Bellway, a well-known local housebuilder, has reached out to help us in this way. We got promoted last season into the third division and we hope that these tops will give the lads the boost they need to press on and hold their own against better opposition.”
Emma Chesterton, Sales Director for Bellway North East, said: “Sports clubs, particularly those that cater for children, are a vital part of a local community. They bring local families together and enable youngsters to get valuable exercise by being able to play the game they love and to learn life lessons about sportsmanship and how to be a team player.
“We were very happy to get involved when coaches from the Cramlington United U12 Jaguars approached us for potential sponsorship. They have already shown they are winners by clinching promotion last season and we hope these training tops help them go on to claim further success on the field.”
Bellway is building 96 new homes at Foxton Mill. For more information about the development, call a member of the sales team on 01670 468329 or visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/north-east/foxton-mill.
