Local footballers Hardwick Youth Under-8s have entered Wish Sport after just completing their first season.
Based in the Hardwick area, the group formed in July last year as a branch of Hardwick Youth FC. The team started with five players originally, but ended the season with another four. They have now entered Wish Sport to buy waterproofs and training tops, along with other equipment. The Gazette has again teamed up with Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation to offer sports groups across Teesside a chance to raise money for their clubs and associations. |

If your sports club could do with some new equipment or maybe needs some help to meet ever-increasing costs then a slice of £30,000 - provided by the foundation - could be crucial.
And this year - for every 5,000 tokens a group collects we give them an extra 500 tokens, which will be added to groups’ final total at the end of the campaign.
Andrew Mash, the club coach, said: “We can’t keep asking parents to contribute as much in the current climate.
“It (Wish Sport) would mean that we would be able to buy things for the team that we would struggle to buy without receiving wish token money, and we are very grateful for the Wish token campaign.”
The group meets to play every Saturday from 10-11.30am.
Anyone interested in joining the club can go along to a session at Bishopgarth School.
A personal patron of the Philanthropic Foundation, Simon Scotchbrook, managing director of IT and communications business Agile, said: “I’m delighted the Gazette and the Philanthropic Foundation have joined forces on Wish Sport because they are two community icons that constantly strive to make Teesside a better place to live, work and play.
“I’m sure the money will be a massive boost for many of the sporting organisations that take part, so I hope record numbers apply for the £30,000 funding this year.”
