Our South Midlands division, currently building at Lucas Gardens on Ivel Road, has demonstrated its support for a grassroots football team by donating £449 for the Henlow Hurricanes Youth Football Club’s training kits.
The club is run by volunteers and supports children in Shefford, aged eight to sixteen, to be active and enjoy a team building sport in a safe community environment.
We’re providing the whole team with new kits, with both home and away football shirts, in the team’s red and goalie yellow colours.
Suzanne Irons, Sales Director for South Midlands, said: “Local football clubs developing home-grown talent play an integral part of community life, so we are proud to be able to offer our support for the Henlow Hurricanes Youth Football Club as part of our commitment to creating thriving communities.
“Playing sport is a great way to improve physical and mental wellbeing, while bringing people together through a love of the game. Grassroots football is more than just a sport, it’s a space where young children are offered a fun and safe learning environment where they are empowered to develop key life skills, from teambuilding to communicating effectively – skills that will put them in good stead throughout their lives.
“We are committed to creating a positive impact on the area surrounding Lucas Gardens, for people of all ages, and the community groups which help make Shefford a great place to live. We look forward to seeing the team in action soon – go Hurricane Henlows!”
Ed Johnson, Manager of Henlow Hurricanes Youth Football Club, said: “We’re delighted to have Redrow South Midlands show their support by sponsoring our fantastic new training kits.
“Our club is focused on developing grassroots football and providing the younger generation in Shefford with opportunities to thrive. As volunteers, we rely heavily on the support of local organisations – and on behalf of the whole team, we would like to say a big thank you and we look forward to welcoming the Redrow South Midlands team come to watch us play soon.”
The sponsorship forms part of our ongoing commitment to promote health and wellbeing in the community.
Set in the middle of stunning Bedfordshire countryside, yet just a 40-minute train journey from nearby Arlesey to King’s Cross, Lucas Gardens is perfectly placed for commuters and growing families alike.
