Mildenhall Town FC’s youth teams score new equipment for 2024 season

Tilia Homes Eastern is supporting Mildenhall Town Football Club’s youth teams with training and matchday equipment to allow the teams to be on top form for the season.

The club, established in 1898, which plays at The Riverside Stadium, Mildenhall, is close to the homebuilder’s Osprey View development, has used the funds to pay for brand new seating for the three junior teams at the grassroots club.

The club has a total of seven teams in total, including four youth teams and three adult teams, and works with a total of 50 children in the area. There are plans to add two new junior teams next season.

Gareth Jacob, Regional Managing Director for Tilia Homes Eastern, comments: “We’re proud to support the clubs and initiatives that help to create a full and vibrant community our developments, like Osprey View, are a part of.

“Mildenhall Town Football Club is a shining example of the positive impact sport can have from a young age, encouraging fitness and wellbeing, as well as being a part of a successful team. With a number of homes perfect for families available at Osprey View, I have no doubt that our very own residents will come to enjoy the sense of pride and accomplishment Mildenhall Town FC instils in its youth teams and will be excited to be a part of the club!”

Ben Child, from Mildenhall Town Football Club, adds: “It’s been great to partner with Tilia Homes Eastern and we’re grateful for the support. Our young players work incredibly hard on the pitch, demonstrating professionalism and teamwork every game, which is why it’s important we ensure they have the best training equipment and facilities available to them. Without the support of local companies we would not be able to thrive.”

The community-conscious developer has also pledged to invest more than £500,000 towards local education infrastructure as well as contributing to the local library.

Osprey View is in a prime location to the north west of Mildenhall, surrounded by convenient amenities, including a primary school and nursery, community centre, pubs and eateries, a local shop and church. The development is also a short distance away from RAF Mildenhall and has offers and initiatives available to armed forces workers, making it the ideal commuter location.
