New partnership to boost finals day for CP Football League
The teams that form the National Cerebral Palsy (CP) Football Adult League are looking forward to a bigger and better finals day event thanks to a new partnership between national charity, Cerebral Palsy Sport and Irwin Mitchell Socilitors.
Cerebral Palsy Sport and Irwin Mitchell have a strong history of working together to support people with cerebral palsy and associated physical impairments access sporting opportunities at a local level, and supporting them to go on and reach their potential.
Cerebral Palsy Sport is the country’s leading national disability sports charity supporting people with cerebral palsy and associated physical impairments to reach their life potential through sport. They put people with cerebral palsy and their families at the heart of everything they do.
Irwin Mitchell has a strong track-record of supporting disability sports through its Don’t Quit, Do It campaign. The firm works closely with Paralympic gold-medallist Hannah Cockroft MBE and sponsors the English Amputee Football Association among other sports groups and organisations.
This latest partnership sees Irwin Mitchell support the National Cerebral Palsy Adult Football League Finals to be held on the Saturday 2 June 2018. The finals bring together nine teams from across the country, who will have been competing at regional fixtures between October 2017-April 2018.
Ali Talbot, CEO of Cerebral Palsy Sport, said:
“The support of Irwin Mitchell means we can make the finals a bigger and better event than ever before. We’re confident that those involved will have a fantastic day.
“Sponsorship from organisations such as Irwin Mitchell go a long way in helping us to achieve our aim of raising aspirations, promoting inclusion and supporting people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities to play, participate and enjoy sport and active recreation.”
Jennifer Cawthorne, Partner at Irwin Mitchell said:
“We wanted to combine our Don’t Quit, Do It campaign to get more people involved in disability sports with our ongoing support for those families affected by cerebral palsy. The CP Sport Adult Football League finals is the perfect event to help celebrate the achievements of all those involved and help people to reach their potential. We’re really looking forward to June and seeing what the finals day has in store.”
