KCOM commits to three-year community partnership with Tigers

KCOM has sealed a three-year deal to be Hull City’s Official Community Partner and deliver a range of community initiatives supporting grassroots sport and digital inclusion across the region.

As part of the agreement, KCOM will host its Safer Internet Day activities and half-term coding camps at the MKM Stadium, introducing youngsters to essential programming skills and online safety.

KCOM Kits scheme is also included in the partnership which has been running for the last three seasons and donates a full Umbro team strip to a local youth football club every time City score a home goal in the league.

So far, the scheme has donated more than 100 kits to local youth teams across Hull, East Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire.

KCOM will also give 5,000 free match tickets given to children from local schools and charity groups during the 2022/23 season.

Neil Bartholomew, KCOM Retail MD said: “As a business we’re determined that no-one is left behind socially or digitally and our partnership with Hull City will enable us to create many more opportunities - both online and on the pitch - for local people.”
