Grant UK sponsors Robins FC Under-8s football teams

Founded in 1991, Robins Football Club provides football training to children who live local to their grass and partnered 3D pitches in Swindon. From their startups aged under 6 years old through to their Under-15s team, Robins FC organise weekly training and development sessions for girls and boys and prepare their teams for league and cup football matches, as well as tournaments. The Club is run by a team of volunteers from their officers through to the coaches who all give up their time to give back to the next generation.

As the new sponsor for the Robins FC Under-8s boys teams, Grant UK will be supporting this grassroots age group for the next two seasons. With over 20 children forming two teams, Robins FC Under-8s play in the North Wilts Football League and play in development fixtures home and away most weekends.

One of the players is a son of Rob Hall who works in Grant UK’s Warehouse Team. “Robins FC is a popular grassroots club here in Swindon,” comments Rob. “They have supported the local community through the provision of football training facilities and coaches for over two decades, fielding young players to senior teams as they progress with the club. The Under-8s were seeking a new sponsor earlier this year and the Club specifically wanted to work with a local company, so Grant UK was a great partner given our headquarters are so close to their training fields.”

Paul Wainwright, Robins FC Chairman since 1991 as well as a Coach and Manager for over two decades, commented: “It’s fantastic that Grant UK have recognised us as a Club and the grassroots movement as a whole. As a Club we rely on volunteers and the support of our communities.

“To receive significant sponsorship and support from Grant UK is a massive support to us as a Club and specifically our U8’s teams. We have three already and it’s continuing to grow. Which makes us so happy, as that is more young people developing their skills, enjoying sport, being active, having fun and also making memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to working and partnering with Grant UK long into the future.”
