Bluebird Care Northallerton, Thirsk and Catterick has become the new sponsor behind this year’s Junior Champions League champions, Brompton Juniors Under 10s.
As part of the sponsorship, Bluebird Care has equipped each player with two match kits, a coat and personalised training kits.
The Bluebird Care office’s logo is also worn on each kit for every single match day, as the team of ten players compete in the Teeside Junior Football Alliance League.
Jonathan Smedley, Brompton Juniors Under 10s’ manager, said: “Myself, the under 10s, and the club are incredibly grateful for the very generous sponsorship package Bluebird Care Northallerton, Thirsk and Catterick have provided. It is only through generosity like this that grassroots football can survive.
“Bluebird Care Northallerton, Thirsk and Catterick have gone over and above not only with their sponsorship of this remarkable group of players but in ensuring that our cafe could re-open safely and that our parents, players and coaches were safe during Covid-19 restrictions through donations of PPE, hand sanitiser and screens.”
Bluebird Care Northallerton, Thirsk and Catterick’s ties to the football club date back to the Covid-19 pandemic, when they provided personal protective equipment for the clubhouse and social distancing mats for match days.
Mr Smedley Added: “The values of Bluebird Care and Brompton Juniors are very much aligned, demonstrating a strong sense of community, inclusivity for all and working together as a team, especially in difficult times.”
'We are delighted to be supporting Brompton Juniors'
Brompton Juniors successfully defended their Junior Champions League title, after winning the competition last season, lifting the trophy for the second year running.
Heather Price, director of Bluebird Care Northallerton, Thirsk and Catterick, said: “In addition to caring for our customers and our team members, we also care about the local community we live in, and providing support and opportunities for schools, children, and other businesses.
“After the Covid-19 pandemic, we are delighted to be supporting Brompton Juniors, as young people and their parents enjoy happy and healthy sporting activities every weekend once more.
“It is also an added bonus the Brompton Junior’s Under 10s side are so exceptionally talented and competitive too! They look amazing having fun and winning trophies in their kits.”
The sponsorship deal has been renewed for next season and will greatly benefit grassroots football in the local area.
