MUSSELBURGH Windsor Community Football Club has bagged a new kit to match the new year, thanks to a £2,000 charitable donation.
The club is one of the longest standing and largest youth football clubs in Scotland, being formed in 1953, and aims to take in a number of young players with different backgrounds from the surrounding areas.
The club aims to support and ensure youngsters can attend training with suitable clothing and now, it has gained a £2,000 sponsorship from local housebuilder Dandara to “elevate” their look on the pitch with a new kit.
Kenny Manson, team leader for the 2018’s team at Musselburgh Windsor Community Football Club, said: “As a grassroots football club, this donation from Dandara is gratefully received.
“While we are a big football club in Scotland, sponsorships like this are what helps keep the club running.
“Our goal is to ensure that everyone who joins are fully supported and feels included, these kits will help 50 of our new starters and will help create a space where the young people of Musselburgh can thrive in a supportive structured environment.”
Tony Williamson, sales director at Dandara East Scotland, added: “We’re pleased that our donation can help Musselburgh Windsor Community Football Club with their goal of making football more available to the surrounding area.
“We’re always happy to be a part of strengthening community ties and being able help the nearby Musselburgh and Wallyford area.
“We hope current and future residents will be inspired to get out on the pitch.”
Dandara is currently selling a selection of homes in Wallyford, at its newly launched development, The Pines.
