We’ve launched a free Soccer School initiative with our partner, Bargate Homes
Working with Hampshire-based housebuilder Bargate Homes we’ve launched a free Soccer School initiative in time for October half-term. Earlier this year, we announced a partnership with Bargate Homes, appointing the regional expert in new build homes as the Principal Partner of Saints Soccer Schools in mainland UK.
As part of this partnership, Bargate Homes is championing accessibility to sport for the local community and will fund 50 free places to eligible students of the Pupil Premium scheme throughout the season. We’ll utilise our network of over 30 partner schools to identify eligible participants.
Saints Soccer Schools are designed for children aged 5 to 13 years, providing a competitive and fun environment to enhance their football skills. Our FA accredited coaches help your children to learn and grow, encouraging young talent to flourish.
Speaking on the launch of the new initiative, our Director of Partnerships, Mark Abrahams said, “This is an excellent example of our commitment to the local community through the campaigns we do alongside our partners. We’re grateful to Bargate Homes for offering places to local children who may not usually get the chance to attend, especially given the current financial implications affecting many people across the country.”
Mark White, Managing Director of Bargate Homes, added, “We’re excited to be kicking off our partnership with Saints through this fantastic initiative. As a regional housebuilder with a local team, we’re passionate about supporting the communities where we live and build. As part of our partnership with the club we wanted to make a tangible difference with a new initiative for local children. We’re incredibly proud to not only champion the Soccer School programme but to have also enabled 50 children, who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to take part, to now really enjoy and benefit from everything the programme has to offer.
"We’re looking forward to visiting some of the Soccer School programmes this October half-term and seeing first-hand the enjoyment of all the children taking part.”
