Leading local estate agency Holland Broadbridge has announced its sponsorship of Shrewsbury 99ers Walking Football Club, strengthening its commitment to supporting community sport and promoting healthy, active lifestyles across the county.
The partnership will provide valuable backing for the club, which has become one of Shropshire’s most successful and respected walking football organisations. The sponsorship is expected to help support the continued growth of the club’s over-50s and over-60s teams.
Shrewsbury 99ers has earned a strong reputation for combining competitive football with social connection and wellbeing, attracting players from across the region. The club offers opportunities for older adults to remain physically active while enjoying the camaraderie and teamwork that football provides.
A spokesperson for Holland Broadbridge said the company was delighted to support a club that plays such an important role in the local community.
“Shrewsbury 99ers represents everything that is positive about grassroots sport. The club brings people together, encourages fitness, and creates lasting friendships. We are proud to be associated with an organisation that makes such a difference to so many people.”
Club representatives welcomed the sponsorship, describing it as a significant boost for their ambitions both on and off the pitch.
“The support from Holland Broadbridge will help us continue developing the club and offering opportunities for more people to get involved in walking football,” a club spokesperson said. “Community partnerships like this are vital to our success.”
Walking football has grown rapidly across the UK in recent years, providing a slower-paced version of the game that enables older players to continue enjoying football while reducing the physical demands of the traditional format.
With Holland Broadbridge now joining the club’s growing network of supporters, Shrewsbury 99ers hopes to build on its achievements and continue promoting participation, health, and community spirit throughout Shropshire.
