A WORLD leading business from Westbrook has increased its investment in a sports team which helps more than 110 young people with disabilities .

EMR is covering pitch costs of Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC to continue offering its important service – now, free of charge - reducing the financial burden on its members and their families amidst the ongoing cost of living crisis.

The Club was founded with the mission of fostering inclusivity and providing a safe, welcoming environment for children and young people with disabilities to experience the joys of playing sports.

EMR has three sites within the Bootle area and a continuous focus on giving back to local communities. 

Andrew Conroy, General Manager at EMR’s Liverpool Alexandra Docks, said: “Every young person deserves the chance to make friends and keep fit as part of a football team and Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC is a fantastic club which ensures that children and young people with disabilities don’t miss out.

"In these challenging times, where the cost of living has put immense pressure on families, it's more crucial than ever to ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate in activities that promote social interaction, physical fitness, and personal development."

EMR’s support for Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC dates back to 2018, when the club was first established. 

John Rice, Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC Chairman, said: “We are overwhelmed by EMR’s support. It has made a big difference to our Club and enables us to support so many children and young adults with varying disabilities. We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone at EMR.

“Grassroots football brings huge benefits to children in many ways. I’m delighted that EMR has continued its long-standing support for our Club. They also ensure the team have kits and training gear. Everyone is always over the moon with their new tracksuits and rain jackets.”
