Tilia Homes Supports Local Girls’ Football Team with Kit Sponsorship

Tilia Homes, part of the untypical group, has demonstrated its commitment to the local community by sponsoring the Cottenham United Colts U14 Girls football team with a donation of £700 towards new team kits.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Tilia Homes has supported the Colts, having initially sponsored tournament awards and, more recently, team kits for the U9’s last year.

The sponsorship comes as part of Tilia Homes’ ongoing engagement with the community surrounding its Kings Park development in Cottenham. Located just eight miles from Cambridge, Tilia Homes has recently launched a new phase of homes at the development. It features a selection of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom energy-efficient properties, with prices starting from £349,950.

Gareth Jacob, Regional Managing Director for untypical’s Eastern Region, explained the motivation behind the sponsorship: "At Tilia Homes, we believe in making meaningful contributions to our communities. Our sponsorship of the girls' football team reflects not only our commitment to community support, but also our dedication to challenging gender stereotypes. Both the construction industry and football have historically been male-dominated spaces, and we're proud to play a small part in changing that narrative by empowering these talented young athletes."

Ben Daft, Manager of Cottenham United Colts said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Tilia Homes for their continued support over the years. Their generosity in providing new kits not only boosts the girls’ confidence but also strengthens the team spirit, helping the players feel proud and united every time they step onto the pitch.”

Kings Park in Cottenham incorporates environmentally friendly building practices and community-focused features. The development includes landscaped gardens and open spaces designed to harmonise with Cottenham’s countryside setting, creating a peaceful environment for residents and an enhanced quality of life.
