Fairhill Shopping Centre is delighted to announce its sponsorship of new training football kits for local organisation Coaching for Christ, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the Ballymena community and creating opportunities for young people to thrive both on and off the pitch.
The newly branded kits will be worn in upcoming matches and events, proudly showcasing the partnership between Fairhill Shopping Centre and Coaching for Christ and highlighting Fairhill’s ongoing dedication to grassroots initiatives in the area.
Ryan Walker, owner of Fairhill Shopping Centre said, “At Fairhill, we believe in the power of community and the importance of investing in the next generation. Coaching for Christ is doing incredible work to support young people, not just in football but in life. We are proud to play a small part in helping them continue their mission”
Coaching for Christ is a local Christian coaching organisation that uses sport as a platform to see lives and communities transformed by Christ through football. Over the years, they have made a huge impact in so many lives in Northern Ireland and around the world, and are devoted to helping those they work with strive to be the best they can be.
“We are excited to welcome Fairhill as the new sponsor for the CFC Youth Academy training range,” said Rodney Weir, Head of Development at Coaching for Christ, “CFC Academy has grown to over 350 participants, from our youngest players of four years old starting their football journey, to the most senior players of our Academy playing competitively every week. Simply, CFC utilises the method of coaching football to connect with people and provide a safe environment in which they can attain a sense of belonging, feel the warmth of a family and have faith and hope instilled into their lives. Fairhill has been a constant presence in the local community and we are delighted that they have kindly partnered with us to help continue to grow our projects here in Ballymena.”
Fairhill Shopping Centre continues to champion local programmes, events and initiatives, demonstrating that strong communities are built through shared support and encouragement. Alongside Coaching for Christ, Fairhill also works closely with their community partner, Castle Tower School to support students and staff throughout the year.
