Sports-loving youngsters in Cumbria will be dressed for success thanks to kits supplied by a local business.
C&D Rural has launched its annual Community Sports Fund to benefit youth sports teams across the county, ringfencing £2,500 for local teams to purchase new kits.
The company is an independent, family-run land and estate agency operating throughout Cumbria. The launch of the sports fund is to give something back to local communities as a way of saying thank you for the ongoing support it receives.
C&D Managing Director, Louisa Thomson, said: “C&D Rural is passionate about supporting local initiatives as these are the towns and villages we all live and work in. Children’s sport is such an important part of community life, and this is why we think it’s key to provide as much support as possible.
“We want to encourage as many young people as possible in our local areas to take part in some form of physical activity and, if we can make things a bit easier for sports clubs in Cumbria and the children who use them, then that’s a big step in the right direction.
“Running a grassroots sports team can be expensive with playing kits often coming at a high cost, and we are delighted to be able to provide financial help to make sure teams look the part when they line up against their opponents.”
The C&D Rural Community Sports Fund will be spread across two of the areas the company operates most widely in: Cumbria and Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland.
The fund is open to any sports team at Under 16 age level or under, and all sports are eligible for the funding. Each team can apply for up to £500.
Application forms can be requested by emailing sport@cdrural.co.uk.
C&D Rural offers land and estate agency, valuation and surveying services across Cumbria, Dumfries & Galloway and the Scottish Borders.
