Queen’s Park FC today announced leading community pharmacist chain M & D Green as its back of shirt partner.
This follows hard on the heels of the announcement of a new record-breaking front of kit deal with casual sports clothing retailer Scotts.
The latest partnership will see numerous events held throughout the season to support the health and well-being of supporters.
One of the initiatives that is being planned is, in association with British Heart Foundation, Queen’s Park will have a ‘Know Your Numbers’ event in September, where fans who attend the game will be able to get free blood pressure checks.
And the club will also work on using the power of football and the club to educate supporters, staff and local community on CPR and how this can help saves lives.
Kieran Koszary, Head of Commercial at the club said: “I am delighted to work with a company which shares not only the values of our club, but actively works hard to support and enhance the lives of their communities.
“This is an innovative partnership where both parties will come together to use their strengths and knowledge and audience to spread positive health and lifestyle messages.”
Martin Green of M & D Green, said: “Pharmacy is the first contact with the NHS for many people, and our well-qualified and knowledgeable pharmacy teams can advise on a whole range of health problems.
“Improving health awareness is a big part of it, and we are well aware of the power of football to reach people. Queen’s Park is a Club determined to be successful on and off the pitch, to be innovative, and to do great things in the community and we are delighted to be a partner.”
