Ward Hadaway sponsor Sport Newcastle Awards
17th November, 2025
Ward Hadaway is incredibly proud to continue supporting the Sport Newcastle Awards and the inspiring work they do to champion the next generation of local sporting heroes
Sport plays such an important role in uniting our region, and we’re delighted to help nurture the talent and ambition that make the North East so special.
The Sport Newcastle Awards celebrate the very best of sporting success across Tyneside recognising outstanding achievements and the rising stars of the future.
As the city’s oldest and most inclusive sports charity, Sport Newcastle is dedicated to supporting grassroots sport and helping young people, clubs, and organisations achieve their sporting dreams.
To date, the charity has awarded over £3 million in grants, supporting thousands of athletes, coaches, volunteers, teams, and clubs — with grants starting from as little as £250 to help kick-start the vital early stages of sporting careers and development.
This year we sponsored the ‘Coach of the Year Award’ which was awarded to Newcastle Eagles and GB Head basketball coach, Marc Steutel for leading the Eagles to the 2025 Super league trophy and becoming the first British basketball club to make the European final.
He also led the GB team into the Eurobasket tournament in the summer, masterminding a first GB win since 2013 beating Montenegro in the group stages.
Alistair McDonald, Business Development Director was on hand to present the award to Marc.
Alistair said, “This award is thoroughly deserved and everyone connected to the Newcastle Eagles and GB basketball teams. Marc should be rightly proud of what he has achieved as Head Coach for both teams and leading the Eagles to the 2025 Super League trophy, European finals and Eurobasket success.
“Everyone at Ward Hadaway is delighted to continue our support for the Sport Newcastle Awards, grass roots sport in the region and its worthy winners.” he added
Matthew Squires, Sport Newcastle Trustee and Head of Fundraising said, “The Sport Newcastle Awards showcase the very best of sport across our region, from the rising stars to the local heroes who inspire us all. Continued support from partners like Ward Hadaway enables us to back aspiring athletes, proactive community projects, ambitious clubs, and forward-thinking coaches.”
