Handicare Accessibility announced as latest sponsor for Dudley-based football club
Independent living aids manufacturer, Handicare Accessibility, has announced that it is to become the latest sponsor of football club in Brierley Hill, Dudley.
Kingswinford-based Handicare Accessibility, has made a £250 donation in sponsorship to Gornal Colts FC, which has been used to install a brand new advertising board that sits on the perimeter of the football pitch, and will enable the club to offer local businesses advertising space, and in turn, generate more revenue.
Remaining funds from the sponsorship will also go towards associated fees, as well as the overall upkeep and maintenance of the club. This will enable the team to carry on competing in the West Midlands Regional League, and continue to rise up through the ranks.
Richard Whitehouse, Handicare UK Director of Operations, said: “Here at Handicare, we are huge advocates for supporting the local community. That’s why we are so pleased to be sponsoring Gornal Colts FC, as put forward by one of our long-standing employees, Susan Johnson, who is Secretary at the football club.
“As a local club near to our Head Office in Kingswinford, we’re keen to support their incredible efforts within the West Midlands Regional League, and we’re so pleased that our funds will enable the club to continue to grow.”
Susan Johnson, Secretary at Gornal Colts FC, added: “We’re delighted that Handicare has become our latest sponsor and showcase their support of our Football Club. There are many costs involved with running a club, and plenty of upkeep too.
“The installation of our new advertising board will enable us to attract more business across the grounds, and as such, help to cover these costs.
“The support from our local community is wonderful to see, and crucial to the maintenance of the club, which is why we’re so grateful to businesses such as Handicare who are able to sponsor us.”
A division of global leader in accessibility Savaria Corporation, Handicare has sales in more than 20 countries and manufacturing sites in North America, Asia and Europe.
The stairlift manufacturer recently announced the appointment of three new global roles to support the strategic growth of its worldwide commercial operations as part of a move to further strengthen and coordinate its international activities.
