Redwood Bank backs high-flying Eagles

Redwood Bank helped Letchworth Eagles U17s soar to victory in style after stepping in to sponsor the team’s training kit.

The teenagers proudly displayed their new training gear ahead of the Rutter Cup final where they triumphed 3-2 over Bassingbourn Youth U18s.

When a previous sponsorship fell through, the team were left without essential training gear and Redwood Bank gave the young athletes the support they needed. As a testament to its dedication to the Letchworth community, the Bank’s logo now proudly features on the team’s training kit.

The move was organised by Linda Stanley, Redwood’s Office Co-ordinator in Letchworth, who nominated the team. She said: “It’s wonderful to see how people come first with Redwood and no more so than with our Community Sponsorship programme that allows employees to nominate clubs and causes they feel would benefit from support.

“I’m really delighted to be part of a team that connects with the community and helps out the locals in such an impressive way.

“The excellent Letchworth Eagles U17s have earned a place in a cup final this season, an even more impressive feat as they’re playing up a year and competing with the under 18s and now they’ll be training in style.”

The partnership with the Eagles reflects Redwood Bank’s continued dedication to community involvement.  The sponsorship aligns with the Bank’s ongoing commitment to championing local projects and celebrating hard work and success. 

Letchworth Eagles’ Under 17’s Manager, Tony Clare, said: “Letchworth U17s are grateful for Redwood Bank's generous support this season! Their backing has helped us equip our team with training kits, making a real difference on and off the field. This year, the team has been outstanding – not only are they performing well, but they also look the part. Sponsorships like this are a fantastic way for local businesses to give back and strengthen our community.”

Michelle Monck, Head of Marketing at Redwood, said: “The bank’s grassroots sponsorship programme is based on colleagues’ nominations, and we see it as an important part of building up a positive culture for our colleagues and helping us to support communities.

“This isn’t just about sponsorship; we know how much the team means to its players and their families, and we’re pleased to support them like this.
“We’re delighted to work with these fantastic young footballers and wish the whole team the best of luck for the future.”
