A LUTTERWORTH-based football club can continue its work with community groups after it secured a £5,000 donation from a housebuilder.
AFC North Kilworth received the windfall from Persimmon Homes Midlands as part of its Community Champions initiative.
The club offers a safe and fun environment to play football to over 150 children and 60 adults. The men’s team has just been promoted to the highest standard of football in the club’s history, meaning they will take part in the FA vase and FA cup.
AFC North Kilworth welcomed Persimmon Regional Managing Director Zac Hurst, who presented the cheque to club members alongside the Chairman of Harborough District Council, Coun Peter James.
Nick Patrick-Ingram from AFC North Kilworth said: “We are very grateful to Persimmon Homes for their generous donation, which will go towards improving the facilities and kit for the club.”
Coun James said: “It was a pleasure to hand over the cheque, having secured this money from a Community Fund from Persimmon Homes. I was very pleased to meet the club’s Committee members and to see how beneficial the funds will be to the club.”
