Four in a Row for Miller Homes' Summer of Sport Campaign in Yorkshire

June 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Local sports clubs across Yorkshire are in with a chance of receiving a cash boost as Miller Homes launches its popular Summer of Sport campaign for the fourth consecutive year.

Following on from the success of the initiative during the past three years, the leading housebuilder will once again be inviting local sports clubs to take part in a competition which could see them win £500 or, for the first time, pick up a top prize of £1,000.

To take part, entrants have to say in no more than 200 words why their sports club is worthy of winning, how the money will benefit the club and what it will be spent on.

Steve McElroy of Miller Homes Yorkshire said: “Over the last few years we’ve been delighted with the success of our Summer of Sport competition and particularly the impact receiving the prize money has had on the winning clubs.

“We have been really impressed with the diversity and standard of entries from those clubs who’ve taken part previously.  As a result we will be extending our support this year for those in our communities who are providing opportunities for sport, education and development by awarding an overall prize of £1,000 to one of our six regional winners.

“We strongly encourage anyone with an affiliation to a sports team or club to have a go, and wish all entrants the very best of luck.”

Competition judges will assess the entries on a variety of factors, including how the money will be used and how it will directly support the development and fitness of its members.

“We were thrilled to win last year’s ‘Summer of Sport’ competition and have put the £500 to good use,” commented Martin Maltby President of Doncaster Wheeler’s Cycling Club. “We were able to provide training to Level 2 standard for our coaches and also first aid training which gave additional support to our junior members.

“It has made a real difference to what we could offer our youngest members and has taken the club to younger generations securing its future for the long term. Any sports club should consider entering the annual Miller Homes competition – you never know it could be you this year!”

Details of the initiative will be distributed at a local level among sports clubs and associations; however community leaders and club managers can also pick up an entry form at any one of Miller Homes’ marketing suites across the country.  To find your nearest Miller Homes development, please visit the Miller Homes website (http://www.millerhomes.co.uk/Locations.aspx).  Closing date for entries is Wednesday 31^st August, giving applicants plenty of time to prepare a winning application. Terms and conditions apply.

Miller Homes operates in the following six regional areas: Scotland, North West of England, North East of England, Yorkshire, The Midlands, and Southern.
