Colts say big thank you for new kit
A Kinross football club has scored brand new kit thanks to Persimmon Homes North Scotland.
The donation to Kinross Colts Junior Football Club 2011s will fund strips for the team of youngsters, aged between six and seven.
Persimmon Homes North Scotland chose the 2011 team to receive £1000 as a part of its Community Champions initiative.
Sheena Hall, fundraiser at Kinross Colts, said:“We are so grateful to Persimmon Homes for their support and generosity.
“The team will be over the moon to get new kit, which helps to make them feel part of a team. Let’s hope it brings Kinross Colts 2011 football team and their coaches are delighted with the new kit some good fortune to the team on and off the pitch.
“We are run entirely by volunteers, mostly the Colts parents, and everyone at the club, including the children, get involved in fundraising.”
Iain Innes, managing director for Persimmon Homes North Scotland, said:“We’ve always supported the local communities in which we build homes, so we didn’t hesitate in donating funds for new kit for the Kinross Colts.
“They are exactly the kind of group that the Community Champions scheme was set up to help and we applaud the volunteers that work so hard to encourage young people to take part in the sport.”
