Why We Sponsor
We believe in building stronger communities through sport, which is why we are delighted that our sponsorship helps youth teams thrive by covering essential costs including new kits, equipment, tournament entry fees and access to training facilities. We are passionate about creating opportunities for youth athletes of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring that no one is excluded from participating in the sports they love. For the 25/26 season, over 550 young athletes, boys and girls alike, will be benefiting from the support from GAP.

Our Ongoing Commitment
Douglas Gordon, Group Major Accounts Director at GAP, commented: “There’s something special about grassroots sports, the energy, the teamwork, the sheer joy of the game. That’s what we love being part of. At GAP, we don’t just put our name on a kit, we stand behind the players, coaches and families who give it their all every game. It’s about giving young people a chance to belong and to grow. We’re proud to support that, and we can’t wait to cheer the teams on again this year.”
