Chichester RFC can convert sponsorship funding into a high-scoring promotional package
Chichester Rugby Football Club, founded in 1926, is a large charitable community sports club just minutes from the centre of historic Chichester at Oaklands Park, one of the most idyllic sports parks on the south coast.
Playing in London League 3 South for the first time in 2014/15, CRFC are looking for great achievements both on and off the field. Their newly refurbished pavilion club house is proving very popular as a venue for sponsors, players, supporters and the extended Chichester community alike. One key component of the ethos of the club is the development of their junior squads.
"With over 450 youngsters, both boys and girls, on the roster, the future of the club's teams looks assured. But, like any growing successful club, we need help from our sponsors.
"In December 2004 Chichester RFC were delighted to be awarded the RFU Seal of Approval, a standard of excellence for the coaching and administration of Mini and Junior rugby. At that time Chichester was the twenty-first club in the country to receive this prestigious award. The success of the Mini and Junior section was again recognised by Sport England, who, in December 2005, named the club 'the best youth sports club in Sussex'. We were successful in renewing the seal of approval in 2007.
"In 2012 we achieved the RFU Seal of Approval for the whole club. If you are looking for a club to sponsor, at any financial level, you can be assured of a 'bang for your buck' in return for any investment, no matter how large or small.
"We have something for everyone
• outstanding exposure across a wide age range in largely affluent lifestyle groups • in-built trust and loyalty in association with our sponsors • all-year-round footfall in your target market which covers B2B and B2C customers.
"Seeking a diverse number of marketing opportunities that can be tailored towards your core marketing message, with a number of key support activities filtering through different areas of a sports setting? Then look no further.
"Our strong community engagement activities include an outstanding social space with bar, a brand new Strength and Conditioning fitness gym with modern equipment unlike anything for thirty miles around, as well as space offering meeting and other function facilities. We have flourishing rugby teams at every level and age group and are keen advocates of health and well-being programmes. Our coaches are in contact with up to thirty-two schools in the region, promoting rugby and general fitness to a wide range of children.
"In addition, we host a number of summer fitness activities and corporate events throughout the year.
"We also have a dedicated team that works on partnering - so make contact and allow us the opportunity to understand your objectives and work with you on establishing a successful sponsorship package".
