supporting football from the grass roots

Paul Williams, our Purchasing Manager, has been volunteering at AC Hoylake JFC for over 20 years. He first became involved when his youngest son became a member and has since assumed the role of chairman, overseeing the full running of the club.

Athletic Club Hoylake (AC Hoylake) was established in 2001 to address the need for a local junior football club in Hoylake and West Kirby. With new teams introduced every season, it now has over 500 players in 41 teams, including a thriving girls’ section.

The club ethos is to ensure that ALL children have the opportunity to take part in and enjoy football from a young age. The coaches aim to help develop their technique and skills through a mix of training, mini-soccer and junior football matches in a safe, fun environment and the measure of their success is based on the numbers who return to play each week.

supporting the scouts

Friends and family of the 2nd Bebington Scout Group braved the sweltering temperatures to take part in The Wirral Coastal Walk. Despite being one of the hottest days of the year, they successfully completed the 12.5 miles from New Brighton to Thurstaston, together raising over £350 for their local scout group.

This is just one of many activities raising funds to send 30 boys on an international scouting trip to the Czech Republic for the opportunity of a lifetime and experience some amazing activities with a Czech scout group.

Nickie Galvin, Customer Services Advisor, completed the walk with her son Connor, one of the scouts looking forward the trip.

“Meeting scouts in other countries and trying new experiences are some of the best things about being a scout, it’s a brilliant way for young people to make new friends and learn more about the world at the same time. Connor and his friends are so excited about visiting the Czech Republic and having lots more scouting adventures, thanks to everyone for all your support.”

It’s the biggest and longest established Santa Run in the UK and has even achieved Guiness World Record status for the biggest santa gathering.

4 x 4 x 48 challenge

Luke Boyle, account manager from our Cumbrian office, successfully completed the David Goggins challenge to run four miles every four hours for 48 hours – a total of 48 miles. The challenge was started in 2020 by David Goggins, an American endurance athlete and motivational speaker and has since been adopted by thousands of followers on social media.

Luke together with his lifelong friend Cameron Prokas raised a remarkable £7,736 for The Great North Air Ambulance, in memory of Luke's cousin Jack, a young player at Penrith Football Club who died aged just 19 while driving near Penrith. He had been studying professional policing at the University of Cumbria and during the pandemic he volunteered at Cumbria police where he collected and delivered PPE equipment for frontline officers.

"It wasn’t just a normal run. To raise a lot of money for the air ambulance as well as trying to keep Jack’s memory alive: that was the overall aim. Whether people donated £5 or £100, every little bit is much appreciated. It really does mean a lot that people have gone out of their way to give something. It just shows you how much of an amazing lad Jack was.”
