In 2022 Quintain sponsored the Winter Green League, run through the Jason Roberts Foundation which Quintain has a longstanding partnership with. The league is a local community scheme combining football and sustainability. The idea was borne by a group of local young men wanting to engage with their community whilst tackling mental health, environmental, and climate issues. 12 local football teams enjoyed a seven week tournament, with each game following a community clean-up by cycling or walking through different parts of Brent.The Winter Green League final in October followed a viewing of the World Cup opening match and a special speaker. Old friends and the local community came together to support the initiative, with the day starting with a community clean-up in the Brent Stonebridge ward. Within a short space of time the social action group had collected a considerable amount of rubbish from local streets and green spaces, which highlighted the need for more schemes like this. The League will continue, the Jason Roberts Foundation has further plans in the pipeline to develop similar schemes for women and younger people to participate in.
"The Jason Roberts Foundation have had a great experience working with Quintain; the information and community interaction has been very clear from the outset. Our last project gave us a great sense of pride and Quintain provided on the ground support and flexibility. The team are always on hand for any questions and the benefits to our organisation have been fantastic in delivering outcomes to the participants on this project. Laura Ashby and the team always make us feel welcome and supported.”
