ELLON Academy's 90-strong cheer team has received a welcome boost from a local housebuilder.
Bancon Homes's Aden Meadows development, in Mintlaw, has become the official kit sponsor for Ellon Academy's cheer team.
The squad, coached by teachers Eve Campbell, Rochelle Bowie and Lyndsey Donald, has in recent years won various cheerleading trophies at a junior and senior level and regularly competes locally and nationally.
Cheer captain Chloe Anderson said: “Cheer is way more than just a sport.
"It’s like a big family where everyone feels comfortable in their own abilities and can push themselves and each other.
"The new uniforms have allowed us to show everyone our family and made us even more proud to be a part of Ellon Academy Cheer Team.”
Adding to this, fellow cheer captain Alana Urquhart said: "Cheerleading, as a sport, has brought a lot of excitement and enthusiasm into my life as well as introduced me to a strong team that works well together and that I trust in many complex skills.
"We are very grateful for the new uniforms.
"These give us more confidence to perform well and ultimately helped us to become champions in our category.”
Bancon Homes are part of the Bancon Group and currently have developments in Aberdeen, Banchory and Mintlaw.
The company was a finalist in three categories of The Scottish Home Awards 2022, two for Aden Meadows and one for The Reserve at Eden in Aberdeen.
In 2021 the company was also nominated as a finalist in three categories, two for its Lochside of Leys development in Banchory and one for housebuilder of the year with less than 100 units.
Allan Clow, managing director of Bancon Homes said: “It’s very important to us as a business to support the schools in our local community, so we are delighted to partner with the Ellon Academy Cheer Team.
"We hope the new kit will help inspire them and bring them lots of success.”
