That this House congratulates Sheffield Wednesday FC on its decision to engage as its main sponsor The Children's Hospital in Sheffield; recognises the potential this creates for raising significant sums of money for a highly valued charity; notes that this partnership has already raised £50,000 for the charity and that the first major business has announced a sponsorship deal which will benefit both partners; and calls on other professional clubs to follow Sheffield Wednesday's lead in forgoing sponsorship deals in order to build effective links with local charities and the communities they serve.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
