WARRINGTON Youth Zone is proud to recognise and thank the New Balance Foundation for their generous donation of trainers and hoodies to its young members.
The items were donated as a reward following the young person’s nomination at the Warrington Youth Awards earlier this year, marking a special moment of recognition for their achievements and positive contributions.
Young members of Warrington Youth Zone were thrilled to receive the new clothing, expressing their delight and appreciation. The high-quality, branded sportswear was a generous donation which also served as a meaningful gesture of encouragement and support.
This contribution highlights the importance of partnerships between organisations and businesses in creating opportunities and impactful moments for young people. Support like this helps to build confidence, celebrate success, and ensure that young people feel valued within their community.
Clare Lunt, Senior HR Director, New Balance EMEA said, “Meeting the young people nominated for this year’s Warrington Youth Awards was incredibly inspiring. Hearing first hand how Warrington Youth Zone supports young people to build confidence, skills and ambition reinforced why partnerships like this matter so much. As an employer that has been part of the Warrington community for over 20 years, we are proud, through the New Balance Foundation, to invest in initiatives that support wellbeing, educational opportunity and future readiness, and to celebrate young people who are making such a positive contribution.”
“Through the New Balance Foundation, we are committed to supporting community led, outcomes driven initiatives that promote access to sport, education, career readiness and overall wellbeing, and we’re delighted to support the incredible impact WYZ has on young people.”
Dave McNicoll, CEO at Warrington Youth Zone adds, “We are incredibly grateful to New Balance and the New Balance Foundation for their generosity and ongoing support. These moments of recognition mean so much to our young people, not only celebrating their achievements but also boosting their confidence and sense of belonging. Partnerships like this make a real and lasting difference.”
Warrington Youth Zone extends its sincere thanks to New Balance and the New Balance Foundation for their continued generosity and commitment to supporting young people.
