A leading North East law firm has once again thrown its support behind Newcastle’s oldest rugby club as it signs on again as sponsor.
Newcastle-based Mincoffs Solicitors has returned as shirt sponsor for Northern Football Club’s youth and mini teams.
Founded in 1875, the organisation is based at McCracken Park, Gosforth and has a large offering for young people with 14 groups – ranging in age from under 6s to under 16s – training at the grounds each week.
The club has strong links with Newcastle Falcons and, from u14s upwards, regularly has players go through the development player programme and academy.
Mincoffs, which has a team of more than 115 staff at its Jesmond offices, supports a range of sports, charities and community groups as part of its ongoing ESG strategy.
Paul Hughes, senior partner and head of corporate, looks forward to following the team’s progress.
“After a fantastic last season across all age groups, we’re delighted to be backing Northern Football Club as shirt sponsor for another year,” he said.
“The club provides a really important space for young people and allows them to develop skills such as resilience, commitment and working together as a team, which will set them in great stead for their futures.
“Northern Football Club does amazing work for the North East sporting community and are an organisation we are proud to support.”
Chair of youth rugby at Northern Football Club, Ben Hunter, said: “As chair of youth rugby, I would like to thanks Mincoffs on behalf of all at Northern for their continued partnership.
“This will help us continue to support all the age groups to develop the players as individuals and as a team.
“The funds are used to support players throughout the season and help the teams go on a mini tour. This trip away is a highlight of the year where players strengthen friendships, create memories and celebrate the successes of the season.”
