Bushey & Oxhey Football Club is a member of the West Herts Youth League and is affiliated to the Hertfordshire Football Association.
Made up of seven teams, the club plays all home matches on Sunday mornings at the heart of the local community with strong ties to the Bushey, Oxhey and Oxhey Village area.
Research shows that grassroots football has 12 million players nationwide, however, seven out of ten clubs don’t feel they have sufficient funding to support their activities.
To help support local grassroots teams, Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes’ brand-new sponsorship with Bushey & Oxhey Football Club will help provide home and away kits ready in time for the new season. The kits were unveiled at one of the clubs first training sessions of the winter season at the ground at Metropolitan Bushey last week.
Marc Woolfe, Director of Sales for Barratt David Wilson North Thames, comments: “We pride ourselves on building relationships with the local community and the recent sponsorship of Bushey & Oxhey Football Club is just one way we can deliver investment into the Watford area. As a community-based club, Bushey & Oxhey Football Club is a fantastic example of grassroots football, and we are proud to be supporting the younger players with its upcoming season. The club has our full support behind them for this season.”
Sophie Baker, Operational Manager from Bushey & Oxhey Football Club, adds: “We are proud to begin our long-term partnership with Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes for the next two seasons. We’re a progressive and ambitious club and is encouraging to see businesses such as Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes keen to get involved and help us grow. We’re ready to take on the new season with our fresh new kits!"
Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes is currently building a range of new two and five-bedroom homes across its Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire developments Clipstone Park, Linmere and Kingsbrook.
