Located nearby the housebuilder’s The Spires development in Chesterfield, Hollingwood Community Football Club’s Under 9s boys’ team has used the funding to purchase new kit, encouraging the players to feel part of a team throughout the season.

Barratt Homes’ £650 sponsorship has allowed the team to purchase 10 brand-new full game-day kits, alongside 10 winter jackets to keep the players warm at colder training sessions. Keith Gilbert, Coach at Hollingwood Community Football Club, said: “We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Barratt Homes for sponsoring our football kits and winter jackets.

“The players are thrilled to represent our team in new, high-quality kits, and our supporters are equally appreciative of this generous contribution. It’s great to have community partners like Barratt Homes who believe in the importance of sport and teamwork.”

Mark Cotes, Managing Director at Barratt Homes North Midlands, said: “As a housebuilder, we think it’s hugely important to support youth sports teams in our local communities, as it keeps children active while inspiring the next generation of athletes.

“We’re thrilled to sponsor the new kit for Hollingwood Community Football Club’s Under 9s boys’ team. We hope this contribution helps each player feel a strong sense of belonging and pride as part of the team throughout the football season.”
