Ipswich Town FC 20-21 Kits To Feature Logo Of Carers Trust
The Rank Group Plc (‘Rank’), which owns current shirt sponsors Magical Vegas, has ‘gifted’ the sponsorship to the charity, The Carers Trust, who it has worked closely with over the last six years.
The Carers Trust has over 4500 carers in and around Suffolk and Rank has supported many of their initiatives in the local community, helping to raise a significant sum to support carers across the county and the UK.
Ipswich Town also announced that the logo of NHS, the National Health Service, will feature on the back of the kit.
“Having their name on the front of the Ipswich Town first-team shirts will help spotlight the fantastic work The Carers Trust does in supporting unpaid carers locally and across the whole country,” said James Boord, Chief Marketing Officer for Rank. “Thousands of carers across Suffolk alone are caring around the clock for family members with long-term disabilities and illnesses.
“It’s vital they get a respite from time to time and Rank is delighted to be able to give some of those carers the opportunity to go and watch the team play at Portman Road.”
“It’s great to see both the NHS and carers receiving recognition on the Ipswich Town shirts, especially in these challenging times.”
Rosie Richardson, director of sales at Town, said: “We are delighted to help Rank’s chosen charity by offering support to the Carers Trust, which reaches out to a number of fantastic community initiatives.”
