James Morgan from Waltons sponsored pupils from Parkdale Primary School with food for the athletics.
He gave the athletes Powerade, bananas, crisp and biscuits.
Since the school bought stationery from the company, Morgan wanted to give back to Parkdale Primary School.
He also provided athletes from other schools with water sachets, water bottles, pens and caps.
“This is the first time Waltons sponsored schools but we are definitely looking at doing so more often,” Morgan said.
He asked schools for a list of their future events in order to prepare for sponsorship.
“We couldn’t go all the way with sponsorship during the athletics because it was short notice, we want to be prepared,” Morgan said.
Morgan recalls his days as an athlete and says that schools barely had refreshments.
“I wanted to make it jolly for the athletes and make them look forward to next year,” Morgan said.
