A County Durham cricket club has secured a new kit sponsor.
Housebuilder Gleeson Homes is backing Langley Park and Bearpark Cricket Club as part of its ongoing support for the community, building on earlier contributions including the installation of protective fencing for the pitch during the winter months.
The club, close to Gleeson’s Bearpark development The Woodlands, fields three senior teams and a growing junior section.
Chris Neal, sales director at Gleeson Homes, said: "We are proud to continue our support for Langley Park & Bearpark Cricket Club, building on our previous contribution to help protect the ground during the winter.
"As a kit sponsor, we are delighted to play a small part in supporting the team and the wider club.
"We are proud to be investing in the communities where we build, and we look forward to continuing to work with the club again in the future."
The club relies on volunteers and welcomes new members of all ages and abilities from across the local area.
Gleeson Homes is currently delivering new housing at The Woodlands, located under three miles from Durham city centre.
Following planning approval, a second phase will add 48 new homes to meet demand in Bearpark.
Gleeson will contribute more than £189,000 through Section 106 funding to support local infrastructure including SEND provision, healthcare services, public open spaces, and improvements to the local rights of way network.
Ryan Daughtery, treasurer of Langley Park and Bearpark Cricket Club, said: "We are incredibly grateful to Gleeson Homes for their ongoing support.
"The previous fencing donation made a real difference in protecting our facilities, and this latest kit sponsorship will help us continue to provide opportunities for players across all age groups as we grow."
