Leading UK darts brand, Winmau have confirmed a new partnership with Fleetwood Town Community Trust, supporting the early-stage development of junior and community darts activity across Fleetwood and Wyre.
Over the past four months, since receiving training from the Junior Darts Corporation (JDC), Fleetwood Town Community Trust has delivered a series of school and community-based darts sessions, engaging more than 40 young people and working across 28 local primary schools. Activity has also included a next step in development with a JDC Foundation Day, highlighting the growing interest in structured junior darts within the area.
The partnership supports the continuation of this activity, with a shared focus on education-led delivery, sustainable growth, and positioning darts as a positive addition within a wider multi-sport community setting.
Ryan Willetts, Head of Sport and Physical Activity at Fleetwood Town Community Trust, said:
“Our partnership with Winmau is a huge step forward for community darts in Fleetwood and Wyre. Over a short period of time, we’ve seen real engagement from young people across our schools and community settings, and having Winmau’s support allows us to build something that is sustainable, aspirational, and fully structured. Our aim is to create clear pathways for young players while embedding darts within a wider multi-sport environment to support education, wellbeing, and long-term participation.”
Ben Rose, on behalf of Winmau, added:
“We’re delighted to support the work Fleetwood Town Community Trust is already delivering within schools and the community. Early engagement has been very encouraging, and this partnership reflects our wider commitment to supporting darts at grassroots levels through sustainable, well-led local programmes.”
