Hawks Hockey Club

Since 2025Crawley, West Sussex

Introduction

Hawks Hockey Club is our first club sponsorship, and the one that set the pattern for the rest.

They're a grassroots club in Crawley with a large junior section, and we back them across the season on the sponsor board, on the club kit, and pitch-side with a unit.

Who They Are

A community hockey club running teams from juniors up through senior sides, staffed largely by volunteers who coach, umpire and organise around their own jobs. The kind of club that holds a town's weekend together and runs on a budget that never quite stretches.

On Their Backs

Our logo sits under the Hawks crest on the club's navy touchline jackets, worn by parents, coaches and supporters at every fixture. That's the version of sponsorship we like: not a banner nobody reads, but something people put on at eight in the morning in February and stand in the cold wearing. Away fixtures, cup ties, training nights — the brand travels with the club.

At Their Events

Alongside the financial support we bring a unit to fixtures and club days, so members, parents and spectators get proper coffee on the side of a cold pitch. A sponsorship you never turn up to isn't much of a relationship.

The Christmas Marathon

In December 2025 we served rink-side through the club's Christmas Hockey Marathon, a full day of hockey raising money for Jigsaw South East, the children's bereavement charity. We ran festive specials for it — maple dirty chai, caramel mocha, hazelnut vanilla latte. Players, coaches, umpires and supporters kept going all day; we kept the cups full.

Why We Sponsor

Grassroots clubs are run by exactly the people we build units for: working around a job, holding something together for a community, funding it themselves. Backing a club is cheaper and more honest than most advertising, and it puts money where volunteers can actually use it.

If you run a club and want a sponsor who turns up with a unit rather than just a logo, get in touch.
