Private hire tech platform delivers grassroots sponsorship

Veezu, the UK’s largest and fastest-growing private hire technology business, had announced a series sponsorships supporting grassroots football teams in the Shropshire area including one in Telford, Grange Park Primary School.

The donations are part of the ‘Funded by Veezu’ initiative, which invites local causes, charities, and grassroots organisations to apply for funding aimed at enriching the lives and experiences of the communities Veezu serves. This move underscores Veezu’s commitment to strengthening community ties and encouraging young people to stay active and engaged through sport.

Graham Hoof, Regional Operations Director at Veezu, commented: “We are extremely proud to be supporting young people in Shropshire. We’re passionate about the power of community engagement, and we believe that by supporting these teams, we can help make Shropshire a positive environment where young people can thrive.

“Grassroots football is about much more than the game – it’s about building confidence, developing skills, and creating a sense of community. Through these donations, we’ve helped to fund new playing kits, and each team is now proud to show off their new gear. It’s a privilege to play a part in their journey, and we hope this will give them the confidence to go out and make themselves proud, and perhaps even inspire more young people to take up sport.”

Lee James, from Grange Park Primary School in Telford, added: “We would like to thank Veezu for their extremely kind sponsorship of our brand-new football kit. The new kit will help us give even more children the opportunity to represent our school teams. In the short time we’ve had the kit, we’ve already used it for two tournaments and County Cup fixtures, where many people commented on how nice the kit looks.”
