BUILDER Bloor Homes has made a donation towards new football kits for Wellington Wildcats U13s who play in the Somerset Girls League

Formed in 1892, Wellington Association Football Club runs more than thirty teams across the areas of adult men’s and women’s football as well as youth teams for boys and girls which gives players the opportunity to play football from a very young age to eighteen and beyond.

Bloor Homes has consistently showed support for the local communities across its regions and has supported the growth of women’s sport from a grassroots level, providing sponsorship and donations to several girls teams close to its developments.

Jason Lockyer, site manager at Bloor Homes Exeter, is a coach at Wellington AFC and father to one of the players of the Wildcats.

He described the importance of sponsorship for local community teams, saying: “The donation from Bloor Homes means the girls can play in brand new kits and feel the support of the company as they take on the 2024/25 season. It’s brilliant to see the growth of women’s football all over the country, and we’re eager to keep up the momentum at Wellington FC ahead of the Women’s Euros in 2025.
