Established in 2016 Slade Green Knights Football Club provides football related activities for children, young people, and adults of Slade green and the wider community. We are affiliated to the London Football Association, SELKENT youth league, Bromley South London football league, and the Southern Vets football league. Membership is open to boys and girls aged between five and above. The club is run by unpaid volunteers and all activities are funded through member subscriptions and general fundraising.

Why sponsor Slade Green Knights

The club is a vibrant part of the community with more than 150 players aged from 5 – 40 currently 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 Slade Green and the surrounding Bexleyheath region.

Slade Green Knights are a grass roots club that have made incredible strides forward in recent years increasing the size of the playing membership, improving community ties and working hand in hand with the Slade Green Big Local 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 volunteer coaches and committee members who all hold appropriate professional, sporting and safeguarding qualifications but give up their time on an entirely voluntary basis. The club tries to minimise the membership fees charged per player as a key belief of the club is “football for all” regardless of your financial circumstance; we also minimise fees by raising funds through partnerships with sponsors and by holding a number of fundraising events throughout the year.

Sponsoring Slade Green Knights is a fantastic way of contributing and supporting sport in the 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.

The Slade Green Knights community of players and their families are extremely loyal and are 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 Slade Green Knights will benefit from significant word of mouth marketing and recommendations to use their services within the community. There will also be maximum exposure for our sponsors in the monthly Slade Green big local magazine, on our various social media platform, and website.

Finally, the football club and the work we do with the youth of Slade Green and surrounding areas is valued and well respected by residents and our local council (Bexley). Any major business looking to create a positive reputation and goodwill in Slade Green through a very visible contribution would find sponsorship of Slade Green Knights as an excellent vehicle to achieve this.
