Since 2019, David Jones, a coach from one of our valued partners in the North East, has been giving his time to grassroots football in Middlesbrough, dedicating years of effort to nurturing young talent from the local community.
David has coached the same team from Under 9s all the way through to their current Under 16s, supporting a group of lads from across Teesside as they have grown together both as players and as young people. That kind of long-term commitment to a community is something we deeply admire and are proud to be associated with.
More Than Just Coaching
The support has gone beyond the touchline too. Over the years, sponsorship has been provided to two teams, helping to kit them out with strips, training gear and trophies, as well as funding an unforgettable trip to Spain. For many of these young players, opportunities like that can be truly life-changing.
Why This Matters to Us
At The Classroom Partnership, we believe in investing in young people both inside and outside of the classroom. Grassroots sport plays a vital role in building confidence, teamwork and resilience, and we are proud to support the communities our partners are part of.
Here’s to David and everyone involved. A fantastic effort that continues to make a real difference!
