Polhill Renews Sponsorship of Sevenoaks Town FC for Two More Years

Polhill Garden Centre is delighted to announce the renewal of our sponsorship of Sevenoaks Town Football Club for the next two years. Our banners will continue to line the pitch at Greatness Park, showing our support for a club that has been at the heart of the Sevenoaks community for over a century.

A Club with Deep Roots

Sevenoaks Town FC was originally founded back in 1883, which makes it one of the oldest football clubs in Kent. From its earliest days the club has been about much more than just the men’s first team. Today it boasts 66 teams that cover every level and ability, including youth, women’s, disability and walking football.

That breadth of involvement is what makes Sevenoaks Town so special. It is a club where six-year-olds take their first tentative kicks, teenagers sharpen their skills for competitive matches, and veterans keep playing the game they love long after their knees told them to slow down. In short, Sevenoaks Town FC is not just a football club, it is a community hub that has been keeping the game alive and accessible for nearly a hundred and fifty years.

The Power of Grassroots Football

Grassroots football matters. It is where the future of the game is shaped, where friendships are formed, and where values like teamwork, resilience and fair play are learned. It is also one of the most inclusive sports on the planet. Whether you are chasing the dream of competitive football, enjoying a kickabout for health or taking part in walking football to stay active, there is a place for everyone.

Sevenoaks Town FC has been widely recognised for its contribution. Studies estimate that the club generates around £2.2 million in social value each year through the benefits it provides to health, community cohesion and personal development. That is a serious figure, but anyone who has stood at the sidelines on a Saturday morning will tell you the real value is seen in the smiles, the muddy boots, and the sense of belonging.

At Polhill, we believe those values line up perfectly with our own. We are a family run business and we know first-hand how important it is to invest in the community around us. By supporting Sevenoaks Town, we are helping to ensure that grassroots football in our area continues to thrive.

Our Sponsorship: More Than a Banner

Our sponsorship takes the form of pitchside banners at Greatness Park. To some people, that might just look like branding, but for us it symbolises something bigger. Every time a player runs down the wing or a parent takes a photo of their child’s big moment, our banner is there in the background, a reminder that local businesses care about local sport.

We see it as a partnership. Sevenoaks Town provides opportunities for hundreds of people in the community to stay active and we provide consistent support that helps make that possible. It is a simple equation, but one that delivers enormous returns in community pride.

Why Polhill Supports Local Sport

As a family business that has grown from small beginnings in 1964, we understand the value of perseverance, teamwork and community spirit. These are the same values that underpin grassroots football. Supporting Sevenoaks Town is part of our wider commitment to give back to the community that has supported us for generations.

We do not see sponsorship as ticking a corporate box. We see it as a responsibility. The same way we nurture plants and gardens at Polhill, we want to nurture opportunities for people in our community to flourish. That is why we have renewed our sponsorship for two more years.

A Word from Polhill

Josh Novell, Director at Polhill, summed it up:

“Grassroots sport is where it all begins. It is where confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories are made. Sevenoaks Town FC does a brilliant job of keeping football accessible and enjoyable for the whole community. We are delighted to be renewing our sponsorship for another two years and we look forward to cheering the teams on from the sidelines.”

Looking Ahead

With our sponsorship locked in for two more years, we are excited to see what the future holds for Sevenoaks Town FC. The club will continue to grow, more youngsters will lace up their boots for the first time, and more parents will stand on the sidelines clutching coffee cups and cheering with pride.

At Polhill, we will be there too. Our banners will be fluttering in the wind at Greatness Park, our staff will be following the results and our community will keep reaping the rewards of a club that has stood strong since 1883.

Polhill’s renewed sponsorship of Sevenoaks Town FC is more than a business deal. It is a promise to keep investing in the community, a nod to the proud history of a club that has served Sevenoaks for nearly 150 years and a celebration of everything that makes grassroots football so important.
