At TouchStar, supporting the communities where our people live and work is central to how we do business. That’s why we are delighted to announce our sponsorship of Ava D’John, daughter of our colleague Craig D’John, as she develops her skills with Clitheroe Blackburn Northern Hockey Club (CBNH).
A Club with Purpose
CBNH isn’t simply a hockey club—it’s an inclusive, community‑driven organisation focused on youth development, wellbeing, and teamwork. For young players like Ava, the club provides a place to learn new skills, make friends, and build confidence—both on and off the pitch.
How the Sponsorship Helps
Our support helps the club maintain its pitches and equipment, provide new kit and coaching aids, and keep participation affordable for families. It also funds school outreach sessions that encourage more young people to get involved and invests in coach and volunteer training, helping the club continue to deliver a high-quality programme.
Why This Matters
By supporting CBNH, we’re investing in more than hockey. We’re supporting community, confidence, connection, and opportunity. Young people have a platform to build teamwork, resilience, and friendships—inside the club and beyond.
Craig shares: “It’s fantastic to see Ava growing through the club. Knowing that TouchStar is backing these opportunities for all young players in our community makes me really proud.”
Our Commitment
We believe that grassroots sport should be open to everyone, and that local clubs like CBNH deserve strong backing. Through this sponsorship, TouchStar is proud to play a part in ensuring those opportunities remain available, affordable, and impactful.
