Specsavers backs Myerscough Junior Football Development Club with £817 kit funding
Specsavers Preston and Deepdale have funded new rain jackets and training tops for Myerscough Junior Football Development Club's Under 7s Girls team
Young footballers at Myerscough Junior Football Development Club are set for a warmer winter season thanks to support from Specsavers Preston and Deepdale, which has funded new rain jackets and training tops for the club’s Under 7s Girls team.
The new kit will help keep players comfortable during training sessions and matches throughout the colder months.
The £817 is part of the stores’ commitment to supporting grassroots sport and encouraging more children, particularly girls, to enjoy football from an early age.
Sam Bain, audiology director at Specsavers Preston and Deepdale, said: “We’re really pleased to support Myerscough Under 7 Girls with their new rain jackets and training tops. Grassroots football gives children so much more than time on the pitch. It helps them build confidence, make friends and learn what it means to be part of a team.
“It’s brilliant to see young girls enjoying the game, and we hope the jackets and training tops keep them warm through the winter. We wish the whole team a fantastic season.”
Simon Bentham, from Myerscough Junior Football Development Club, added: “The support from Specsavers is more than just a logo on a jacket.
“They've helped create a sense of belonging, a community, memories and opportunities for this new team of girls who are brand new to football, and it's great to have you as part of our journey.”
