Hide AdA spokesperson said: “Welcome Skate Store is proud to support Hyde Park Women’s Football Club.
"This grassroots team is a true representation of the inclusivity and diversity that both Football, Hyde Park and Skateboarding can provide.
"The player-funded and volunteer-led team had their equipment and kit stolen leading them to wearing post-match men's kits and mismatched uniforms.
"Discovering the team on social media has led us to provide them with something that we know they’ve deserved for a long time. We hope this relationship continues to grow much like Women’s football and skateboarding throughout the UK.”
Welcome was set up in 2010 and includes the famed Don't Mess With Yorkshire line of clothing, apparel and accessories.
