Foster with Dorset Council (Dorset Council’s fostering service) is delighted to announce a new partnership with Dorset County Football Association, lending its support to the Dorset Youth Cup Competitions for the 2023/24 season.
We hope that through this partnership we can actively support youth football in Dorset, whilst spreading the message of our need for more people to foster with Dorset Council to keep local children and young people in the county they call home.
Cllr Byron Quayle, Dorset Council’s Portfolio Holder for Children, Education, Skills and Early Help said: “We are delighted to sponsor the Dorset Youth Cup Competitions for the 2023/24 season. Football brings joy to so many of Dorset’s young people and brings many families together through a shared passion for the sport. We are proud to lend our support and play a part in this.”
Dorset FA’s Partnership Lead Jemma Tewkesbury has this to say: “It’s fantastic to be able to partner with Foster with Dorset Council. They provide essential services in our local community, as they search for loving, local foster homes for children across Dorset. We hope this partnership can help Foster with Dorset Council reach further into our community, through football”.
Our CEO, Roger Vaughan said: “We are really pleased to be able to partner Foster with Dorset Council and support the excellent work they are doing in supporting young people in the county. The sponsorship of one of our most prestigious Junior Cup competitions is very fitting”.
