HATHERLEIGH Nursing Home has been thanked after sponsoring new kits for their local all-girls football team.

The nursing home said it is ‘proud to support the next generation’ after sponsoring the kits for Hatherleigh Primary School’s all-girls football team.

It is part of the home’s vision that despite being of different generations, its elderly residents and the youth benefitting are part of the same community.

Wearing their new kits, sponsored with the Hatherleigh Nursing Home logo, the team took to the pitch with confidence, knowing they have the support of those around them.

The school’s PE coordinator, Calli, shared after a recent match: “The girls won a trophy! They did very well and looked well presented in their lovely yellow kit, thank you.”
