Team Purpose Media
Purpose Media ready to pitch in
Staff at full-service marketing agency Purpose Media are warming up for their annual Play on the Pitch tournament, which is taking place at the New York Stadium, home to Rotherham United FC. The event, which has been held in previous years at
Derby County FC, is held to support the development of grassroots football. This year, an all-star team from Purpose Media take
on a team from Sleetmoor United, made up of coaching staff and the dads of girls and boys who play for the club. There will be a full day of tournament-style games
for all age groups, with the Dads and Coaches versus Team Purpose Media game headlining as the main event. Sleetmoor United, founded in 2016, brought together
three teams – ADASC FC, GFC Alfreton Girls and Ladies and Leabrooks Juniors Football Club – to form a single club with a united vision. Since then, Sleetmoor United has touched the lives of thousands of families across
Derbyshire, providing opportunities to participate in grassroots sport, learn crucial life skills, make friends and have fun. Purpose Media Managing Director Matt Wheatcroft
has been heavily involved in amalgamating the clubs and creating the new vision. Both of his daughters play football and he has also been coaching girls teams. Purpose Media also created the new branding as part of its CSR strategy and commitment to supporting the local community. Matt said: “This day is a vital fundraiser for
Sleetmoor United, which we hope will contribute towards funding a new 4G pitch. Business plans are being prepared which will be submitted for Football Foundation funding, which will hopefully see a grander scale vision come to fruition. “If the Football Foundation grant is successful, the
intention is to build brand new changing facilities, a community hall and other spaces that can be used commercially.”
