College football team receives new kit with support from specialist workplace integrator
The football team at Queen Alexandra College (QAC) in Harborne, part of the Queen Alexandra Charity Birmingham, has received a brand-new football kit from Ricoh Europe.
Through a series of mini fundraisers, the Ricoh Team which in Birmingham has helped raise the necessary funds for a brand-new kit.
Ricoh, a workplace integrator that specialises in providing and integrating end-to-end technology, solutions and services that help organisations respond to evolving workplace demands has been supporting the charity for over a year.
As part of this, the Ricoh Team based in Birmingham has been engaging with students over several visits to provide various forms of assistance.
This includes taking part in classroom activities such as sharing knowledge with the IT and Creative Media students during a lesson.
Recently, Ricoh visited QAC to meet members of the football team and their coaches and were part of the unveiling of the new kit.
This was a fantastic moment for players, who were excited to showcase their new attire, made possible by Ricoh’s dedication and generosity.
Dave Sullivan, assistant principal for Teaching and Learning said: “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ricoh Europe for their ongoing commitment to supporting our work at QAC and for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
“To have the Ricoh name on our football kits demonstrates that the students are not just backed by the college and charity but also valued by a leading international company.”
Vanessa Anness, head of consulting at Ricoh Digital Experience (RDx) said: “Since Ricoh was founded nearly nine decades ago, our principles, The ‘Spirit of Three Loves’ – Love your Neighbour, Love your Country, Love your Work, have remained the same.
“This encourages us to continuously improve and contribute to the wellbeing of all our stakeholders including our families, customers and communities.
“As part of this, our team in Birmingham reached out to the Queen Alexandra Charity last year to offer our support to this incredible cause and I am delighted that we have been able to help.
“I hope our community, and beyond, can continue to raise awareness around neurodiversity and people living with disabilities whilst also further educating others around this important cause.”
