MSP Capital is helping the MYTIME Young Carers charity reach a wider audience, with the firm helping fund their front-of-shirt sponsorship of Wimborne Town FC.

Joint Managing Director Paul Miracca came to recognise first-hand the ‘fantastic brand awareness’ of such an opportunity after making a similar deal for his own business with fellow Dorset club AFC Bournemouth.

Now he’s hoping to do the same for MYTIME Young Carers, who provide safe spaces, respite breaks and other support for those aged between five and 25 juggling care responsibilities with education and work.

Paul said: “I first came across MYTIME at a fundraising quiz and have been so impressed with them ever since.

“With their support, young carers can continue doing great things for their families and still get the support they need to further develop the incredible, and often unrecognised, skills for future employment.

“Donating this sponsorship will give MYTIME a unique opportunity to get in front of their target audience of young people and their families who need support.”

MYTIME also makes regular visits to schools across the county, helping to build support and understanding of young carers and their needs among pupils and teachers.

CEO Krista Sharp said: “MYTIME is so grateful to MSP Capital for sponsoring the shirts at Wimborne this season.

“It’s going to be amazing to have our name emblazoned across the front of the shirts and know that 500 people come to watch this game every weekend. I think for the young carers themselves, it’s going to be something they’re really proud of.”
