Sterling HotSpring agree sponsorship of Alva Swifts (Dec 2007) - 19 January 2008 |
 We are delighted to be the new sponsors of the Alva Swifts football team.Jim Anderson tells us "Alva Swifts has currently 60 children, from fun 4’s (under 7) to under 13 age groups. The club started with fun 4 football, and has continued developing the children from the early stages, progressing yearly, by each age group stepping up to the next level. This takes considerable fundraising, and the goodwill of local businesses to sustain the club in light of the amount of equipment, pitch hire, training facilities, and so on. The club itself prides itself on it’s “fair play” ideals, and is pretty well thought of within the local youth football fraternity. We have a club charter, where great emphasis is placed on ensuring the children are balanced in their views on racism, bigotry, and general equality. This is reflected throughout the club. Similarly, we recently sent all of our old strips out to Ghana, where an orphanage is making great use of them. Our kids also gathered together their boots, trainers, unwanted strips, etc. etc. which was more than welcomed by the African children". |
