A COVENTRY under 10s football club received new equipment after a donation was made from £500 from Platform Home Ownership.
Chapelfields Colts now play home games at Gosford Park Primary School – the team marked its new equipment and location with a launch day which included training exercises and mini matches.
Gary Thorpe, chairman at Chapelfields Colts FC, said: “We’re grateful to Platform for reaching out and supplying us with much-needed funds to secure these high-quality goals, and to Laura Baldwin, Business Manager at Gosford Park Primary School, for making this all possible.
“Access to top-end equipment is essential for youngsters to continue to enjoy playing football and further develop their skills, so for a local business to have our young players in mind is very important to us.”
Sabina Cox, marketing manager at Platform Home added: “It’s crucial for us at Platform to understand that we’re having a lasting impact on our communities, extended beyond purely the construction of our high-quality homes.
“We hope that the players enjoy using this equipment, and that this investment helps to further foster a love for the sport and encourage younger people across Coventry to either get or stay involved with football.”
