NOTTINGHAMSHIRE HOMEBUILDER SPREADS FOOTBALL FEVER AHEAD OF WORLD CUP

David Wilson Homes North Midlands has donated a number of mini footballs to a nursery in Eastwood to get its children in the mood for the World Cup.

Eastwood Day Nursery, located close to the housebuilder’s development Old Mill Farm in Brinsley, received 25 of the footballs ahead of one of the world’s most eagerly-awaited sporting events; set to begin on 20th November in Qatar.

It’s been a big year in the country for football, having already celebrated the Lionesses historic Euro 2022 win, and David Wilson Homes has ensured young children are still enthusiastic about the sport as England prepare for the World Cup.

Nichola Birch, Manager at Eastwood Day Nursery, said: “We would like to thank David Wilson Homes for its generous donation of footballs, the children were super excited to receive them.”

According to Statista, football is not only the most popular sport to watch in the UK, but also the most popular team sport to participate in, with roughly 1.5 million people in England playing at least twice per month in 2021. It’s reported that 44.7% of 11 to 15-year-old and 31.4% of five to 10-year-old children play football on a monthly basis.

David Wilson Homes’ donation was not only made to encourage young children to stay active, but also to inspire the next generation of Lions and Lionesses.
The Lionesses rode to victory in the Women’s Euros this summer, and the men’s team will be hoping to replicate the success of the women in Qatar.

Mark Cotes, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes North Midlands, said: “As a leading housebuilder, we aim to support the communities in which we build and this includes helping children to stay active and encourage them to follow in the footsteps of their role models.

“We hope the children at Eastwood Day Nursery will enjoy using the footballs throughout the World Cup and continue to show an interest in sport.”
