Kits By County | County visit Cheadle Heath Primary School

Earlier this year, Stockport County Community Trust launched its Kits By County initiative to distribute free PE kits to Stockport’s primary schools in a bid to help the borough’s children become more active and engaged in sport.

Pressures on the family purse continue to prohibit primary school children from taking part in PE, with the cost of kits beyond the reach of families who lack disposable income. In order to overcome this barrier, over the next twelve months Kits By County aims to provide 12,500 kits for pupils in Stockport who are deemed most in need, with Stockport County’s owner Mark Stott funding the initial distribution of 3,000.

As the new school term kicked off this week, County players rolled up their sleeves to help pack and deliver the first PE kits as part of the first phase of the campaign. Lewis Bate, Louie Barry, Ethan Pye and Lewis Fiorini lent their support at Edgeley Park, helping the Community Trust team to sort and pack the 3,000 kits in readiness for delivery into local primary schools with each individual kitbag including a polo shirt, a pair of shorts, a pair of joggers and a sweatshirt.

Jay Mingi and Lewis Bate also supported Kits By County by visiting Cheadle Heath Primary School to hand out the kitbags to pupils and to talk to them about the importance of PE lessons as a means to keep active.
