It's all about supporting, developing and promoting talent here at Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment and we are not stopping for Christmas. A few weeks ago we approached the head of Abbott Community Primary School in Collyhurst, Manchester to see if they could use a new football kit and from their response looks like our timing was perfect.
Hi ,
My name is David Walker and I am the PE coordinator at Abbott Community PS. Ms Riley passed me on your delightful email! I must say I was completely taken aback by your proposal to provide our children with a football kit and equipment.
I have only recently begun teaching at Abbott and have started up a school football and tag rugby club with the intention of creating school teams for both. We have recently competed in a year 5/6 tag rugby tournament and qualified for the Manchester finals. The excitement this created among the children was incredible as in previous years they have not really taken
part in out of school competitions. I have also just signed the year 5/6 children up for couple of football tournaments in the new year.
At the minute we are actually short of a proper kit and our equipment does need replenishing so the fact that you have contacted the school about helping out seems to have a bit of divine intervention about it! As a school we would love to take you, and the company you represent, up on your fantastic offer to support us.
Anything you need or any other communications needed Adrian, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Thank you greatly on behalf of myself, Ms Riley and, most importantly, the children from Abbott.
Hope to hear from you soon,
David Walker, PE coordinator Abbott Community PS
Thrilled by the opportunity to make a difference in our community we thought we could go one better and get the squad kitted out, setting ourselves a bit of a challenge in the process. We recently launched a facebook page and although it is still work in progress we want to know we are on the right track, so the challenge is to achieve 1000 likes. If we get that then we will supersize the football kit to include replacements and throw in some balls and training equipment too.
Look out for the facebook link on our Christmas e-card or click on the facebook link at the top of the page to get the ball rolling (geddit?). A tweet would help too.
