Barratt Homes is assisting Wellingborough Whitworth FC’s Under-13’s with a sponsorship that will provide them with a new kit for their new season.

The team, which is based near the developer’s Glenvale Park development in Wellingborough, has now been together for over eight years and play their matches on a Sunday in the Weetabix Youth Football League.

Nick Stuart, Coach of Wellingborough Whitworth FC’s U13’s, said: “We are thrilled to receive a sponsorship from Barratt Homes. As a grassroots team we rely on monthly subs and kind donations to help keep us going.

“The boys will wear the new kit with pride. It makes them look smart and feel part of a team. As well as this, it takes a burden off some of the parents that might be struggling financially in the current climate.
