Your Housing Group named new Phoenix shirt sponsor

One of the North’s largest social housing providers Your Housing Group has agreed, for the next two years, to become the new shirt sponsor for the Cheshire Phoenix.

Owning around 1,400 properties in the Cheshire West region alone, and a presence within Merseyside and beyond, its vision of ‘transforming your lives and your communities’ is felt to fit perfectly with the decision to support the Cheshire Phoenix team both on and off court.

The Group is expanding its portfolio in Chester and is currently onsite building a new extra care development on Northgate Avenue to be named Abbots Wood.

Peter Harrison, Head of Cheshire Region for Your Housing Group, said: “Chester has been identified as a key growth area for Your Housing Group and we are already starting to build strong links in the community, and the sponsorship of Cheshire Phoenix is a part of that. It also sits alongside our commitment to promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.”

The housing group’s logo will be placed on the main shirt as well as the away kit and warm up tops. The Group will also receive tickets to the games which will be used to reward as incentives for some of the young residents at the Group’s Foyers, which offer accommodation for vulnerable young people.

Andrew Donaldson, Chairman of Cheshire Phoenix, said: “Your Housing Group’s community led vision makes them an ideal sponsor for the Cheshire Phoenix team. Our long term aim is to perform as well as possible on the court as well as growing as a club and engaging with the local community off it.”
