Atlas Translations Continue To Invest In The Local Community

At Atlas Translations we believe in continuing to invest in people and our local community. This year we are proud to sponsor local grassroots sport.

St Albans City Youth Football Club U14 Girls Central

We are very proud to be official kit sponsor for St Albans City Youth Football Club U14 Girls Central for the next two seasons and the Atlas Translations logo is now emblazoned on the girls’ football shirts. We wish St Albans City Youth Community FC the very best this season.

Atlas Translations Football Team Kit Sponsor

St Albans City Youth plays a huge role in the community, with 86 teams across their Inclusive, Girls and Boys sections. They even put in place a ‘train at home’ programme, which was delivered via Zoom throughout lockdown. Grass roots sport is more important than ever and we’ve been inspired by St Albans City Youth’s commitment to young people throughout a challenging year. The U14 girls team are a credit to the volunteers, managers, coaches and families who support them. We think the kit looks fantastic and we hope that the Atlas branded kit gives the team a boost as they train and compete this year and next. We’re delighted to be associated with St Albans City Youth Football Club.

Enfield Town Ladies Football Club

Atlas Translations also sponsored Olivia Martin at Enfield Town Ladies Football Club for their 2020/2021 season. Olivia Martin plays as a forward for Enfield Town Ladies First Team. The Ladies First Team play in the FA Women’s National League Division 1 South East. We wish Olivia every success this season – we’ll be following all the action and cheering you on!

Atlas Translations in the Community

This year’s sponsorship of grassroots football adds to Atlas’ work supporting community initiatives and fundraising. Over the past two years, Atlas Translations raised over £15,000 for local charities thanks to the popular yarn bomb fundraisers #stalbanspostboxes. We also continue to run our Against Breast Cancer Bra Bank thanks to donations.
