Football event
As part of Stockport Homes' approach to investing in communities, the second Stockport Homes Football Event was held on 25 August. The event was a fantastic success; with 98 children aged from 8 to 14 attending for a day of football fun.
The day of activities (held at The Power League in Heaton Mersey) was organised by Stockport Homes in close partnership Stockport County Football Club and Stockport Sports Trust.
The event gave the children of Stockport Homes' customers a day of fun and football with the Stockport County players and the County mascot, Vernon Bear. They were also coached by the Community Coaches from Stockport County and Sports Trust in the morning and then just after lunch there was a penalty shoot out and a 5 a-side competition, with winners and runner ups being awarded prizes.
Everyone who attended the event this year also received two free tickets to a Stockport County game, plus a free goodie bag with a football!
Jane Ormiston, whose son attended the football event said: "Thank you to all involved in the arrangements for yesterday's football activities at Power League. Nathan had an excellent time; he thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the day."
