Kit sponsorship offering Help for Heroes
THE Robinsons Brewery brand will once again adorn the front of Stockport County’s playing kit in the 2018/19 season.
This year, however, Robinsons will share the shirt space with a new partner to the kit – Help for Heroes – with £3 per shirt sold being donated directly to the charity.
The 180-year-old family brewers, Robinsons, will sponsor the alternate away strip alongside Help for Heroes; the British charity that supports Armed Forces Personnel, Veterans and their families who have suffered injuries or illness as a result of their service to the Nation.
The Stockport County shirt sponsorship, which will see £3 from every shirt sold donated to Help for Heroes, is a fitting way to bring together one of Stockport’s oldest commercial partnerships with one of its newest.
Ben Robinson, Director of Sales for the family brewery, commented: “We have a long history with Stockport County… for many years County players and fans wore shirts with ‘Robbies Best Bitter’ on the front; we’re hoping our Help for Heroes shirts will be met with equal approval.
“And, what’s more, every shirt sale will help make a genuine difference to the charity and the heroes they support.
“We are extremely passionate about raising money for Help for Heroes, who are celebrating their 10-year anniversary this year, and it’s really wonderful that Stockport County FC are supporting the cause. This extension of our sponsorship deal is a sign of our commitment to our home town and we look forward to working together with Stockport County FC as they get back where they belong under the fantastic management of Jim Gannon.”
