Free Van Hire for The Festival of Friendship Football Event
The Festival of Friendship – Supporting Kids Football
At Westwood, we’re always keen to support local organisations, charities and good causes, so we were delighted to donate one of our vans to Highfield Grange A.F.C. for the weekend of their annual football event, just as we did last year and our good friends at Protec Roofing North West Ltd were kind enough to cover the cost of the insurance. The ‘Festival of Friendship’ football event is now in its 13th year and we were pleased to help the organisers keep their costs to a minimum. The Highfield Grange FC 13th Annual Festival of Friendship is a 5, 6 & 7 a side Football Competition for teams of all age groups from Under 7’s all the way up to Under 14’s. This year, the event was held on the 22nd and 23rd of June and once again, was held at the St John Rigby College in Orrell. The football stars of tomorrow cut their teeth in tournament just like this, so it was great to be part of an event which allows young teams a weekend of friendly competition. There were 66 teams taking part on what turned out to be a glorious weekend of good natured, competitive grass roots football, giving the stars of the future a chance to shine and show off their skills.
Westwood Donates a Rental Van in Support of Kids Football Weekend
A big event takes a lot of organising and a lot of logistics. Thankfully, Westwood Motor Group was able to assist with the latter and we were happy to provide a Long Wheelbase Volkswagen Crafter so that the organisers could transport the kit and equipment to the event – the only time you’ll catch Westwood moving the goalposts when it comes to van hire! As well as moving the equipment, the van could be seen serving as a backdrop for team photo’s throughout the weekend and we hope to be able to provide similar support for future events.
