STADIUM RENAMED TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR LOCAL HOSPICE Newport Road, North Cave, In a landmark show of community support, TMG Mortgage Network has donated the naming rights of Parkgate FC’s home ground to Rotherham Hospice, helping shine a light on the life-changing care provided to families across the borough. From Saturday 22 November, the venue will officially become the Rotherham Hospice Community Stadium — marking the first time in the region that a business has gifted naming rights to a local charity rather than using them for commercial promotion. The official opening weekend will take place on Saturday 22 November, when Parkgate FC face

Sheffield FC, followed by a Rotherham United Women’s fixture on Sunday 23 November. The two-day celebration, dubbed the Rotherham Hospice Weekend, will feature fundraising activities and special moments to honour patients, families, volunteers, and the wider community. This unique partnership will kick-start a series of fundraising initiatives led by TMG Mortgage Network, supporting both grassroots football at Parkgate FC and the specialist end-of-life care Rotherham Hospice provides. “It’s about giving back in meaningful ways” Scott Thorpe, CEO of

TMG Mortgage Network and Lord of the Manor of Rotherham, said: “Being part of this town has shaped who I am, both personally and in business. After being named Lord of the Manor of Rotherham earlier this year, I promised to give back in meaningful ways — and this is one of them. Rotherham Hospice provides incredible support to families when they need it most, and Parkgate FC represents the beating heart of grassroots football. Bringing these two pillars of our community together under one banner felt powerful. It’s never been done before in this area, and I hope it inspires more businesses

to back the causes that truly matter to local people.” “This partnership goes beyond football” Albert Dudil, Chairman of Parkgate FC, said: “This partnership goes beyond football — it’s about people. Our club has always been about community first, and with TMG’s support and the Hospice’s name on our ground, we can raise funds, awareness, and pride for Parkgate and Rotherham in a way we’ve never seen before.” “A powerful gesture of compassion and community” Ruth Wallbank, spokesperson for Rotherham Hospice, said: “We’re deeply grateful
