WASHINGTON FC Tigons are set for a warmer winter thanks to a sponsorship deal with a North East waste management firm.
Gateshead-based Affordable Waste Management has purchased new winter coats for the team, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting local grassroots projects.
Washington FC Tigons are a team of boys from the town who have risen through the divisions of the Russell Foster Youth League, moving from Division 10 to Division Five in just two years.
The team is one of many run by Washington AFC, a community club which provides training for boys and girls aged from under-seven to 18 at Washington Football Hub.
The club also provides Football Development Centres for fun football sessions for under fours, fives and sixes where youngsters can develop skills in a fun environment.
Now, thanks to this sponsorship, winter games and practice will be a lot warmer for Washington FC Tigrons making it far easier for the youngsters to stay focused and enjoy the game.
“Community support like this means so much to grassroots football and helps make opportunities like these possible for every player,” said Head Coach Lee Thompson.
“Support from local businesses such as Affordable Waste Management makes a real difference.”
Affordable Waste Management is a commercial waste management company which provides affordable solutions to businesses across the UK.
CEO, Jake Taylor added: “We’re delighted to support Washington FC Tigons ahead of the winter season. As a business with strong roots in the North East, we’re passionate about supporting grassroots football and giving back to our local community.
“By sponsoring the team’s winter coats, we hope to make a positive difference to these young players, helping them stay warm and focused on enjoying the game throughout the colder months.”
