INTRODUCTION: Here at Rushden & Higham United we are a volunteer-run Football Club in Northamptonshire. The Club currently plays in the Spartan South Midlands League Division 1, the 10th tier of English football. For context in the local area, this is 2 leagues below AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

Formed in 2007 by a merger of Rushden Rangers and Higham Town to form Rushden & Higham United FC. We are proud to represent our local area and continue providing facilities for many teams across the Rushden area.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, run from top to bottom by volunteers, with every penny raised reinvested into the teams and facilities under our stewardship.

We have recently stepped up our online presence with Twitter and Facebook content posted more regularly. We aim to keep up that online trend and hope to increase our presence in the local area with increased attendances, and with the help of our dedicated committee, and maybe you.

Based at Hayden Road Sports Stadium in Rushden, which is our own ground, (the only team in Rushden to have their own) we are always looking to build relationships with local organisations or like-minded individuals to raise much-needed funds to support operations, maintenance, and to increase our reach in the community and maybe further a-field.

Please take some time to read through our sponsorship pack, and maybe help us on our journey, knowing that you could help a small, unpaid team achieve their goals.

Contact us via any of our social media channels, or via email at rushdenandhigham@hotmail.com

Word of mouth is always a great channel to gain sponsors, so feel free to pass on our details to anyone that may be interested.

Team Kit Sponsorship (Unavailable) – Got to get in really early for this one!!

Whilst we have an ongoing relationship with our current sponsors, we are open to discussions with potential future sponsors.

So, this is an opportunity for any local, national, or multi-national (but let’s not get carried away) business to support Rushden & Higham United in the best way possible.

Have your brand featured prominently on the home or away kit worn by players. Feature heavily across all the Lankies’ online channels, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and our online match-day programme with judicious mentions on all platforms. We’ll even throw in 2 x Season tickets for you, along with programme advert / article, and social media mentions.

Interested parties can contact us to discuss requirements, and the likely cost of this package, earlier the better.

Stand Sponsorship - £1,750 The Chris Ruff stand is available to accommodate a sponsorship package. Right opposite the view from the bar, this is a great opportunity to get your name noticed. All the usual perks come with this option, 2 x season tickets, full page programme advert, and of course the mentions on social media channels.

Man of The Match Sponsorship - £550 per season The man of the match package is a little gem in terms of exposure for your business. Your business will be named across social media, once a player of the match is announced, you’ll have space in our online programme, with a brief write up about your organization. With over 20 home games per season, this equates to around £25 per game.

Leisurewear Sponsorship Our players represent Rushden & Higham United and the history that we have. We want our players and staff to look smart and as such, we are looking for a leisure wear partner to appear on apparel that the players will wear on match days before and after games. Along with been visible in any photography, we’ll throw in a free Half Page programme advert, and 2 x Season Tickets along with the social media exposure. Interested parties can contact us to discuss requirements, and the likely cost of this package.

Management Kit Sponsorship Just like our players represent our club, so do the management team and committee members.

Our management team and committee will commit to ‘modelling’ your branded kit, along with our club badge for any home and away games during the season. You’ll get mentions on social media, a programme ad, and 2 x Season tickets. Interested parties can contact us to discuss requirements, and the likely cost of this package.

Perimeter Board Sponsorship £300 single £500 double The old fashioned classic…..Position your businesses advertising with a pitch-side perimeter board. With over. 20 Rushden & Higham home games, and a further number of youth games, and other events across the season, this is a cost-effective sponsorship opportunity. (Production / cost of branding to be met by sponsor)

Player & Staff Sponsorship - £50 per season It is what it says on the tin, and ever popular. For a small consideration you can sponsor any one of the players, committee, or management team for the entire season for less than the price of an adult’s season ticket. Sponsors will be showered with mentions in our programme, and on social media channels, especially if your player picks up a goal here and there!

Programme Advertisement - Half Page Per Season £100 / Full Page Per season £175 We do have a very limited space for adverts in our matchday online programme, so this would be first come first served. A great way to put your business in front of a number of fans on a match day, helping out a volunteer-led local club.

Donations Maybe you just want to help us out without the furor of social media shout outs, or having your name plastered all over the social media etc... and that’s just fine with us, as it is if you do want that fanfare. We’d love to receive any contribution, large or small to put toward the costs of running the club in general, or on a more specific item if you so wish. Just get in touch and let us know.

If you believe we’ve missed anything in our offering, or you would like to offer up a different alternative we’re happy to listen, maybe you would like to sponsor the Referee, or become official cleaning products supplier, we’re open to anything (within reason). You know who we are and where we are, come and join us……

Thanks for your time on behalf of the Rushden & Higham United FC Committee
