York Schools Score With Hatfields Football Giveaway

With the FIFA 2010 World Cup™ recently ending and the new Premier League season kicking off, localHyundai dealers Hatfields is ensuring that local schools have the equipment in place to help develop the nation’s much-needed football stars of the future.

The dealership, located on York Business Park, and stocking a range of used and new Hyundai cars, has been delivering hundreds of footballs to grateful staff and pupils at schools across the region, with children of all ages eagerly waiting to try out the moves being displayed by their heroes in South Africa.

Hatfields York contacted the schools following a successful weekend of World Cup-related fun held at the showroom last month. Visitors were able to exchange an old football, whatever the age and condition, for a brand new one, with the traded-in balls going to Africa as part of the SOS Africa scheme. At the event, the York FA Girls’ Academy dazzled attendees with an exhibition of football skills.

“Watching the York FA Girls’ Academy enthusiastically demonstrate their footballing talents inspired us to contact local schools across the area,” commented Andy Maddock, Dealer Principal at Hatfields York. “We wanted to help the physical education teachers in the community develop future football stars, and what better way to do this than by providing some vital equipment.”

The schools to have benefited from the initiative are: the Jospeh Rowntree School of Haxby Road, Manor CE School on Low Poppleton Lane, and Wigginton Primary on Westfield Lane.

Andrew Haigh, Head of Physical Education at the Joseph Rowntree School, said “Football, as you would expect, is an extremely popular sport among our pupils, even more so during a World Cup. We are very grateful to Hatfields for the provision of these footballs which will allow us to set up two new school teams – a Girls’ under-13s and a Girls under-15s.”

Hatfields York is part of the Hatfields group, which operates dealerships covering a range of automotive marques across the north of England and the West Midlands. The Hatfields group operates three Hyundai dealers, located in York, Stockport and Bury,as well as Jaguar, Landrover, Range Rover and Volvo dealerships around the UK.

British Companies Failing to Protect Employees' Eyesight

A recent survey amongst HR departments across Britain has found that up to 90 per cent of businesses are failing to meet the legal obligations to protect the eyesight of their staff.

According to figures published by the Eyecare Trust, one in ten British companies does not have any form of eye care policy in place for their employees.

Alastair Hall, Head of Health & Safety at Citation said “Businesses have 6 key obligations relating to eye care, including, regular eye tests, proper analysis of work stations, and short screen breaks throughout the day. We often find that employers are unaware of the provisions they should make for employees around eye care regulations”

The Eyecare Trust estimates that absence and reduced productivity due to employees’ eyesight problems costs the British economy around £1.5bn a year.

If you are worried that your business is not properly conforming to health and safety regulations, with regards to eye care or any other areas, then a health & safety specialist from Citation could help.
