Foundation supports local football club

Warley Athletic Football Club is enjoying new kit and equipment this season thanks to a donation from the Richardson Brothers Foundation.

The team plays its home fixtures in Langley, a stone’s throw from the Richardson’s Midland HQ.  The football club was formed in 2022 when it’s founders Luke Cotterill and Rob Tucker recognised the need to fill a gap for young men between playing kids football and the adult game.  The club has gone from strength to strength, playing in Division 2 of the Warley and District Sunday Football League, with 25 players on its books.

Jan Jennings, on behalf of the Richardson Brothers Foundation, said:

“The Foundation is really pleased to be supporting Warley Athletic Football Club.  Since the club was founded its gone from strength to strength and is now a really important part of the local community.  We wish it every success in the future.”

Luke Cotterill, Manager of Warley Athletic FC, added:

“We’re extremely grateful to the Richardson Brothers Foundation for their kind donation. It means we can continue to grow as a club and also foster a sense of identity, which is so important as we attract players from a range of different backgrounds.”
