Freshtime netball kit

The year five and six mixed netball team from Boston West Academy

Snack and salad company Freshtime has taken one for the team and supplied a local school with a brand new netball kit.

The mixed team from Boston West Academy received their new merchandise from sponsor Freshtime, which include branded shirts and socks, at the start of the new term.

Last year pupils at the school were the first members of the Freshtime Fun Club, a new scheme run by the company to help children learn about nutrition and where food comes from.

“The netball team plays against other local schools but they used to just wear their ordinary PE kit for matches,” said teacher Lucy Cook.

“Now they look much smarter in their new kit and we’re very grateful to Freshtime for their sponsorship.”

Mark Newton, managing director of Freshtime, commented: “We really enjoyed working with Boston West Academy last year and we were impressed by the talent and enthusiasm shown by all the pupils.

“We’d like to maintain our links with the school and buying a new kit for the netball team is a good way to do that, encouraging the children to get outside and stay healthy.”
