Sponsorship Opportunities
​
​
Established over 100 years ago, Shouldham Football Club has a rich history and has provided football related activities for thousands of adults, children and young people. We are affiliated to the Norfolk Football Association and the Mid Norfolk Youth League. Membership is open to boys and girls from five and we aim to provide a pathway through to an adult football.
We are a grass roots club that have made incredible strides forward in recent years increasing the size of the playing membership, improving football facilities and pitches and working hand in hand with our Parish Council and the FA to provide a safe, effective and engaged environment for the youth of the community to engage in the sport of football at a variety of levels.
The club is run by a team of unpaid volunteer coaches and committee members who all hold appropriate professional, sporting and safeguarding qualifications but give up their time on an entirely voluntary basis. All activities are funded through member subscriptions and general fundraising.
As a rural village club we strive to be competitive across the Mid Norfolk region and are proud to regularly punch above our weight, being victorious in many competitions and to have also produced a full England international player (Alf Kirchen).
Why Sponsor Us?
The club is a vibrant part of the community with more than 150 players aged from 5 – 14 training and playing regularly for our club. We have strong engagement with players parents and families, so we effectively reach out to a community of several hundred across the villages of Shouldham, Marham, Fincham, Swaffham and the surrounding area.
Sponsoring Shouldham F.C is a fantastic way of contributing and supporting sport for kids in our community and makes a visible difference as every penny of sponsor money is reinvested in football equipment and facilities for the club. There are no hidden administration charges or costs, we are truly a grass roots club so we can assure a sponsor that their contribution is going directly to youth football.
Our community of players and their families are extremely loyal and always appreciative of the club and its sponsors and supporters. We endeavour to encourage our community to support local businesses wherever possible and in particular when they are our sponsors. From this perspective, any local small business or trades person sponsoring Shouldham F.C will benefit from significant word of mouth marketing and recommendations to use their services within the community.
Finally, the football club and the work we do with the youth of the village and surrounding areas is valued and well respected by residents and our local parish council. Any major business looking to create a positive reputation and goodwill in the village through a very visible contribution would find sponsorship of Shouldham F.C an excellent vehicle to achieve this.
