LEADING distance learning provider, Open Study College of Solihull, has announced a sponsorship deal with the nationwide Emergency Services Football League – as well as sponsoring the West Midlands Ambulance Service Coventry (WMAS) team which plays in the league.
The Emergency Services Football League (ESFL) is the only one of its kind in the UK, and was set up in 2020 to create regular, flexible fixtures for those who work for the NHS, Fire, Police and prison services, but are often unable to commit to regular leagues due to unsociable working patterns.
Karl Williams, WMAS Coventry Club Secretary, said: “It is very humbling to see so many members of the public and companies coming together to support the NHS.
“This football club was created to give the local ambulance staff of Coventry and Warwickshire a release from the day job and expend some energy elsewhere.
“Without the support of our sponsors such as Open Study College this team would not be where it is today.”
Peter Overton, ESFL co-founder, said: “The ESFL is proud that Open Study College has decided to join the league and become a sponsor.
“We are really looking forward to working with the college and helping them promote their courses to all the Emergency Service Football Clubs in the UK.”
Open Study College chief executive Samantha Rutter, added: “We all know what an amazing job our emergency services do for us, all the time, and especially during the pandemic.
“To show our appreciation, we’re delighted to sponsor the league as well as the West Midlands Ambulance Service Coventry team.
“Aside from the sponsorship deal, we’re also offering anyone in the league a special discount on any of our distance learning courses and advice on choosing the right course, as another way to give back to these incredible people.”
