Connecting. Developing. Growing.
Our focus as a Club has always been community. From the Club's inception in 1968, the kits were knitted by local residents and players grandparents (purple at the time!). We're driven to give our players the best experience, and memories that'll last forever, regardless of their ability and their social mobility. We can only do that with support from local businesses. We're also really proud to offer a Player Pathway programme to help fund qualifications and support our players personal development.
Sponsorship levels vary, from being a Club sponsor through to Team sponsorship opportunities and event sponsorship. We're always on the look out for sponsors of all types, and have opportunities to suit all budgets - so if you are in a position to give back, and support local children, please do contact us on [email protected].

Thanks to our successful trial in 2024's tournament, we're formalising our 'Fan Zones' at the tournament, and they're getting a fancy upgrade! We recognise the importance of a positive environment for our players, coaches and referees - everyone is learning! Therefore, we trialled a change to our pitch layouts to mean that players and coaches were away from spectators, giving them the peace of mind to help develop their players without external interference. This also meant spectators had a dedicated viewing area.
We're launching some smart new signage for our Fan Zones and Technical Areas, including reminders of our positivity expectations and this gives us an opportunity to advertise your business!
So you can now sponsor a Fan Zone for £150 per zone (includes 1 Fan Zone & 1 Technical Area) for a 2 year period! In return we'll have your logo displayed on the signage that's created for that zone so that all players and spectators can see that you're supporting grassroots football... that's done right!
