Junior football team in Shrewsbury scores £250 donation from Bellway
A junior football team in Shrewsbury are sporting brand-new training tops this season thanks to sponsorship from a local housebuilder.
Bellway, which is building new homes in Shrewsbury at Darwin’s Edge and The Spinney, has donated £250 to the U7 Marvels team at SAHA FC, based off nearby Radbrook Road.
Team manager Lee Dowley-Smith, whose son Parker plays for the team, said: “I have worked in the construction industry and I have heard about Bellway’s reputation for helping many local sports teams and initiatives in the Shrewsbury area so I thought I’d reach out to see if they could help us with sponsoring our new kits for the 2023/24 season.
“The players wanted to call the team ‘Marvels’ as they are big fans of The Avengers from the Marvel Comics. It’s important that they feel part of a team and that’s why we want them to have the same uniform both for their training sessions and matches.
“As a parent and club volunteer it’s often difficult find the funds to buy new kits every year so I’m very grateful for Bellway’s support in helping us. The team is looking forward to being kitted out in the new training tops.”
Marie Richards, Sales Director for Bellway West Midlands, said: “We understand it can be difficult for parents and coaches to find the resources to pay for equipment and kit so we’re only too pleased to be helping out SAHA FC’s U7 Marvels team.
“We place a real emphasis on supporting the communities in which we build our homes and have been working with various groups in Shrewsbury. We’d like to wish the players the very best for the 2023/24 season and look forward to hearing about their progress.”
Bellway is currently building 150 new homes at Darwin’s Edge, on Hereford Road, and another 164 properties at The Spinney, off Oteley Road, also in the town, where the last few homes are available to reserve.
