matchday mascots, encouraging parents
and families as a whole to attend our
games. Also, we host all social events
and training on the pitches adjacent to
our ground, utilising the clubhouse and
related facilities as a hub for everyone
under the Benfield umbrella to feel at
home in.
This season we are running a reserve
side in the Tyneside Amateur League.
Obviously, the football is a good few
levels lower than the first team operate
at, but it gives a sense of the kind of
organic progression we are looking for,
by providing a potential pathway from
mini soccer for 7-year olds, through to
the first team. It is both a challenge and

definition of ‘community.’ If we are

“We became a sponsor of the club as we believe in supporting the community and helping local teams as best we can. Tony
Spoors, my colleague, knew that the chairman was looking for sponsorship so we were happy to help. As a long standing local
employer we understand the positive effect local sports teams can have within the community.
We have our logo dotted about the ground and also have a large board above the stand. We have been to a few games and
seen that the team is definitely moving in the right direction and its fantastic for the area. I would like to wish everyone at the club
all the best and tell them to ‘keep believing’ as we do - Barrier Fire Protection are behind you!”
