Calderdale College is proud to announce a new sponsorship partnership with local printing specialist, Simprint, strengthening support for its Sports Academy teams based at the state-of-the-art Inspire Centre.
The sponsorship will benefit students across the College’s elite academy pathways, including Halifax Panthers (Rugby League Academy), FC Halifax Town (Football Academy), Yorkshire Dragons (Basketball Academy) and Halifax FC Girls (Women’s Football Academy), who will proudly wear Simprint-branded kits throughout the season.
This partnership comes at an exciting time for the Inspire Centre, as the College progresses plans to enhance its facilities – expanding access, increasing capacity and supporting the continued growth of girls’ and women’s football, community programmes and elite pathways.
Designed to reflect the College’s commitment to inclusivity, diversity and meaningful community impact, the Inspire Centre provides clear progression routes from grassroots participation through to professional sport.
David Malone, Principal and Chief Executive of Calderdale College, said: “Simprint’s sponsorship will not only enhance the visibility of our academy teams but also help us continue developing the Inspire Centre as a space that celebrates success, showcases our valued partners and creates an environment where every student – regardless of background or ability – can thrive.
“As a long-standing local business, Simprint shares our commitment to investing in young people and strengthening community connections. By working together, we are championing sporting excellence, widening participation and inspiring the next generation of athletes here in Calderdale.”
Adam Del Core, Director of Simprint, added: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Calderdale College Sports Academies and seeing our branding worn with pride across the teams. As a local business, we believe in investing in the talent and potential that exists right here in our community.
“Sport has the power to bring people together and open doors for young people, and we’re proud to play a part in helping these athletes develop. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will have at the Inspire Centre and beyond.”
