We are a Business for good.
A business for good is the term given to companies who commit part of their profits to a good cause.
Those good causes are entirely at the discretion of the company and can range from water aid to a village in Africa, to more local causes such as foodbanks.
We feel that it’s important to give back to our community and take part in this business for good initiative.
Read below to find out how we do this.
Grassroots Football
With our Basic support plans we are putting £2 per user per month into grassroots football as a long term commitment.
That means that for 1 company with 10 members of staff we are putting £20 /month into grassroots football to pay for a players training.
Putting Money into grassroots football allows us to invest in the youth of today.
Grassroots Team Sponsorship
Not only do we commit part of our profits to grassroots football, We also sponsor Grassroots football teams with our partnership with Mini Huyton Soccer, and Prescot Cables we pay for new kits for the teams who need it.
A new kit gives a team and identity. That identity helps them feel like they belong together and helps them to bond and unite. we therefore commit to sponsor a team every season, and if we can do more, then we will.
