Scoring Big For Local Youth: Dandara Donates New Equipment To Dunmow Rovers

Helping lay the foundations for sporting success, local housebuilder Dandara has donated new equipment to Dunmow Rovers Youth Football Club’s Mini Strikers team in support of the new football season.  

Established in 1976, Dunmow Rovers Youth FC is based in the heart of Dunmow, Essex, with the central pitch located in The Recreation Ground. The accredited club, part of England Football, has range teams consisting of ‘Mini Soccer’ starting from under 6 to under 10s, as well as Junior teams from under 11 to under 18s. 

Dandara, who is building at The Orchard development in Little Dunmow has provided the club’s ‘Mini Strikers’ with essential equipment needed for training. The housebuilder’s donation of £1,500 will support the club in purchasing Bazooka goal nets, three free kick mannequins, two sets of cones, two sets of 8 corner flags, along with three respect barriers. 

Gemma Bannister, Sales Director at Dandara Eastern, commented: “Grassroot clubs are vital for fostering talent, bringing the local community together, and making a positive social impact. We believe it is essential to support such community pillar organisations, and providing the ‘Mini Strikers’ with new equipment will support the players during training sessions. We hope the new assets will line them up for success this season and we’ll be cheering them on from the sidelines!”

Simon Wilson, from Dunmow Rovers Youth FC, adds: “As an established sports club in Essex, we are always looking for support to provide an interactive space for the local youth to come together, socialise, and develop new skills. The support from Dandara will bring new life our ‘Mini Strikers’ training, with the donation supporting the replacing of current equipment that is now in need of replacing.”
