Local football teams get new kit thanks to a Walfinch carer’s brainwave

A carer’s brainwave means that three local under-11s football teams will get a new kit this year following sponsorship from High Wycombe-based home care provider Walfinch.
 
Downley Dynamos’ 47 players will be sporting the Walfinch logo on the front of their new kit, thanks to football mum Sian Dewing. Sian’s son Bobby, 10, plays for the Dynamos, and when Dan Baskerville, Head Coach of this season’s under-11 squad, appealed for sponsorship ideas, she introduced him to her boss, Greg Renk, Managing Director of Walfinch Mid and South Buckinghamshire, which provides all kinds of home care.

Sian, the Care and Compliance Supervisor and a senior carer in Greg’s care team, says:

The three under-11 teams play games in separate divisions, so the kit will be seen by parents and relatives of the Dynamos and three opposing teams each week across Buckinghamshire, plus their coaches.

Greg says:

Dan Baskerville says:

Walfinch will be the main logo on players’ shirts, so it will be seen in local media photos each week, and on the Downley Dynamos’ website. The sponsorship is for two years, but kits are sometimes passed down to the next age group coming through, so the Walfinch logo will potentially get exposure for longer than two seasons.
