Store First Supports Grassroots Football with Readstone Raptors Sponsorship

The sponsorship is part of Store First’s wider commitment to supporting local communities and giving back to the areas in which its self storage facilities operate.

Why is Store First supporting grassroots football?

Grassroots sports clubs play an important role in communities across the UK, giving children the opportunity to get active, make friends, build confidence and learn valuable teamwork skills. However, youth football clubs depend heavily on volunteers, coaches, parents and sponsorship from local businesses to keep teams running and make sport accessible to young people.

By sponsoring the Readstone Raptors Under-7s kits, Store First is helping towards the costs involved in providing local children with the opportunity to train, play and represent their team.

Ben Simmonds, manager of Readstone Raptors Under-7s, said: “Grassroots football is really important, and if we didn’t have volunteers and local companies willing to sponsor us and buy these fantastic kits for us, it wouldn’t happen. We’re really, really grateful to Store First for these fantastic kits. Thank you.”

Giving back to our local communities

With self storage facilities across the UK, Store First believes it is important to be more than simply a business operating within a community. The company is committed to building strong local relationships and supporting clubs, organisations and initiatives that make a positive difference to the people living around its stores.

Toby Whittaker, Managing Director of Store First, said: “Grassroots sport plays such an important role in local communities. It gives children the chance to get active, make friends, build confidence and experience being part of a team. But none of it happens without the people who give up their time to run these clubs, or the support they receive from parents, volunteers and local businesses. We’re delighted to be able to play our small part by providing the Raptors with their new kits. They look fantastic, and we hope the whole team wears them with pride. Supporting the communities around our stores is important to us, and we’re proud to help grassroots sport continue to thrive.”

Supporting grassroots sport

The Readstone Raptors sponsorship is part of Store First’s ongoing work to strengthen its links with local communities and support initiatives that create opportunities and make a positive local impact. We wish the Readstone Raptors Under-7s the very best of luck for the season ahead – and we’ll be cheering them on in their new Store First kits!
