Speaking about renewing the REIDsteel partnership, Rob Mitchell, Commercial Director, AFC Bournemouth, said:

We are delighted to extend our partnership with REIDsteel, both as a sponsor of Premier League Kicks Christchurch and as an official partner of the Community Sports Trust.

As a club, we are very keen to support the project and having a local company like REIDsteel backing it helps us do this so we are very grateful to them.

I’ve seen how much enjoyment our local young people get from these sessions and how it can promote positive wellbeing. The Community Sports Trust does fantastic work in our community and we’re proud to be able to be involved.
