Supporting Scottish Hockey
NCS recently sponsored Scottish Hockey, and the Borders Hockey Taster Programme, and donated £4150, which was matched by Sportsmatch, to bring the total to an amazing £8300.
NCS originally provided several key office solutions for Scottish Hockey, and offered additional support for Hockey through funding the Borders Taster Programme. Scottish Hockey then made an application to the Sportsmatch Award scheme, which matches commercial sponsorship invested in community sport. The money donated allowed Scottish Hockey to hire a development Officer for the borders area, allowing them to reach more schools and children. This programme will ensure that players keep playing after school, and gain lifelong benefits.
Our Managing Director, Tom Nolan, said of the initiative, "We are delighted to be involved in such a forward thinking initiative that encourages the development of youth sports in Scotland. Our contribution to The Sportsmatch Award scheme will help allow the SHU to develop their Borders Hockey Taster Programme and we wish them every success with this."
