Through HP’s support of grassroots football, we were generously offered four tickets to attend the England – Wales international at Wembley Stadium. Some of our young people enjoyed an incredible VIP experience, watching the match from a private box and going behind the scenes at the iconic venue.
They were treated to refreshments before kick-off and dessert at half-time, adding to what felt like a truly special occasion. Surrounded by nearly 60,000 fans, they enthusiastically cheered on England – with unforgettable celebrations when the team scored. The group captured proud and happy memories through photos and videos.
This opportunity recognised their excellent behaviour, commitment to their studies, and positive engagement with staff. Experiences like this not only reward hard work but also inspire ambition and continued success.
On another occasion, in recognition of their consistently positive engagement, a group of young people attended the England v Serbia international at Wembley Stadium – the Home of Football.
The evening began with a spectacular fireworks display, followed by an exciting match that saw England secure a 2–0 victory. With fantastic seats offering a panoramic view, the group fully immersed themselves in the atmosphere. HP enhanced the experience by explaining match tactics, sharing insights into the England national team’s history, and outlining the World Cup qualifying process.
The young people described the evening as unforgettable, expressing sincere gratitude for the opportunity. Events like these reward positive engagement while inspiring confidence, aspiration, and lasting memories.
In other football news, the local Brent player Angelina Bramble who was selected for England and sponsored by HP has gifted us a shirt as a thank you. It is proudly displayed at one of our houses, as an inspiration to the young people.
