Blackpool FC Community Trust (BFCCT) is inviting businesses and partners to join its mission by investing in a new range of sponsorship and partnership opportunities for the 2025/26 season.
Delivering over 65 community-focused projects across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, the Trust generated an outstanding £22.9 million in social value last year, more than double the EFL network average. Each pound invested returns almost £10 in value to the community.
Ashley Hackett, CEO of Blackpool FC Community Trust, said:
“Our programmes deliver real, measurable impact across the community, and we’re inviting businesses to be part of that. Whether it’s supporting grassroots football, enhancing education, or improving wellbeing for older adults and veterans, this is an opportunity to invest in something with purpose and meaningful impact.”
Blackpool FC Community Trust’s 2025/26 partnership packages offer tiered opportunities for businesses to gain brand exposure while supporting community impact.
Options include high-profile Principal Sponsorship (£40,000+) with full-scale visibility and hospitality opportunities, project sponsorships (£10,000) with over 30 impactful sports, education, health, or inclusion options. In return, you’ll receive project naming rights, LED advertising, social media features, printed and digital branding, hospitality and event invitations, and a football signed by Blackpool FC’s first team.
For local businesses and supporters wanting to give back, the Tangerine Together Donation Scheme (£1,000) is a powerful way to make a difference. Your contribution helps us continue to deliver vital cost-of-living support programmes, including:
- Family Clubs for low-income families to enjoy weekly activities and hot food
- Our weekly food parcel collection service, in partnership with The BIG Food Project, provides affordable essentials to those in need
- Our Community Club was held before the food parcel collection to allow people to enjoy a hot drink while accessing support from local services, including United Utilities, Citizens’ Advice, NatWest, and BetterStart.
In return, you’ll receive matchday exposure, public recognition, and invitations to key events, but more importantly, you’ll be part of changing lives in our town.
Our kit sponsorship (£10,000+) features branding on shirts, shorts, or training wear across multiple female teams, including our FA Girls’ Emerging Talent Centre, Blackpool FC Girls’ Grassroots, and Blackpool FC Ladies (excluding the front of the shirt). These programmes support the full pathway of female football development, from early grassroots to performance-level athletes. With growing participation and visibility in the women’s game along with the excitement around the recent England Lionesses Euro win, this is a timely opportunity for businesses to invest in the future of female football while gaining brand exposure through LED matchday advertising, digital content, matchday programme features, and access to Trust events.
Blackpool FC Sports College delivers full-time education alongside professional coaching, enrichment and placement opportunities. Becoming the front-of-shirt sponsor (£20,000) means your brand would appear across student playing kits, digital channels, and printed media. This season, our A Team won their league title and earned the honour of representing the Trust at an event held at Wembley Stadium, which gave the sponsors’ logo national visibility at one of football’s most iconic locations. This package also includes premium matchday hospitality for 10 guests, framed shirt presentation, and the chance to align your organisation with achievement and youth development at its best.
As front-of-shirt sponsor for Blackpool FC Ladies (£20,000), your brand will be at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing areas of football. With increasing media attention, rising attendance, and national momentum behind the women’s game, this is a powerful opportunity to align with positive change. The package includes LED advertising, high-profile matchday hospitality, social media coverage, feature stories, and national visibility through the team’s presence in the women’s football landscape. As a sponsor, you’ll be directly supporting the progression of female footballers locally and inspiring a new generation.
Each sponsor also can volunteer with BFCCT, from delivering activities at our holiday camps, supporting local veterans or giving career talks to our students. These structured opportunities boost team morale, strengthen community ties, and reinforce ESG commitments.
