An Aberdeenshire football club is set to sport Maggie’s branded kits courtesy of homebuilder CALA Homes.
Westdyke Ladies, part of Westdyke Community Club, will be debuting the kits, branded with cancer support charity Maggie’s logo, during their SWFL Division 1 North league match in Stirling at the weekend.
CALA Homes, the Aberdeen based homebuilder, sponsor the local football team and have taken the decision to gift the branding opportunity to Maggie’s Aberdeen to help raise awareness of the cancer support charity.
Shona Fielding, team secretary and player for Westdyke Ladies, said: “We are very proud to be wearing Maggie’s branding on our kits. My family have had personal experience using a Maggie’s Centre and I know how vital the support Maggie’s provides is for Centre users and their loved ones. The team and I look forward to working with Maggie’s in the future to support them in their role as a support for so many in the North-east.”
Maggie’s offers free practical and emotional support for all people living with cancer, and their family and friends.
Sales and Marketing Director at CALA Homes, Fraser Carr said: “The opportunity to enable a local charity like Maggie’s to receive extra awareness is fantastic.
“We understand the important work Maggie’s Aberdeen provides for those receiving treatment for cancer in the North-east, as well as their family and friends. CALA are proud to be able to support Maggie’s by providing this exposure opportunity and we hope to be able to work with Maggie’s in the future.”
Centre Fundraising Manager, Paula Cormack, said: “We are so grateful to CALA for their generosity in providing this opportunity to spread awareness of our charity and to Westdyke Ladies for choosing to support Maggie’s.
“Their support will help to build greater awareness of the support and services offered by Maggie’s to help people as they face the challenges of cancer, ensuring that we can help even more people in the North-east.”
