Backing Local Communities By Supporting Grass Roots Sports

Issue 120

North Tyneside based, Greener Solutions Group, has pledged its support to grass roots sports sponsorship across the region.

The company supports Springwell Village Under 13 football team which plays within the Northumberland Football League. The team has benefited from the donation of an XbotGo – an AI powered and auto tracking camera system for sports. Utilised on matchdays, the camera is able to capture every moment on the field.

The company is sponsoring Lewis Crosby-Shaw, an amateur boxer at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Boxing Club, who won the England Boxing National Junior Development Championship in 2024 in the light heavyweight category.

The firm is paying for his accommodation and travel when taking part in competitions.

Established in 2015, Greener Solutions Group, works with local authorities, housing providers and national partners to improve the energy efficiency of homes across the UK. The company delivers domestic energy assessments, retrofit coordination, energy modelling and fabric-first upgrade planning, helping clients reduce emissions, cut fuel bills and support more sustainable communities.

Keian Sanchez, director at Greener Solutions Group, said: “Wherever possible, we are keen to give back to the local community. We are proud of our close association with both Springwell Village Under 13s and Lewis Crosby-Shaw and wish them well in their respective fields.

“At a time when wellbeing and mental health is a key priority, grassroots sports, whether an individual pursuit or a team, is to be encouraged. It enables young people to be part of a community, boosting physical and mental health as they build resilience, confidence and a sense of belonging”.

Philip Smith, a coach at Springwell Village Under 13 football club, said: “The support from Greener Solutions Group Ltd and the filming equipment has been a huge boost for our training and a real highlight for the players, especially seeing their goals on match day. We’re having a fantastic first season and are proud to have reached the county cup final after beating Wallsend Boys Club in the semi-final.”
