VDL Group is proud to announce our sponsorship of Meon Milton Youth FC Under-13s, a well-established football club playing in Portsmouth Group D. This sponsorship is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the local community and nurturing the next generation of talent.
The sponsorship will run for the next two seasons and includes providing new football kits for the team. This essential support has given the players both new home and training kits, fostering a sense of pride and unity among the team. Meon Milton Youth FC is one of the largest clubs in Portsmouth, with teams across all age groups, making it a key part of the local youth sports community.
VDL Group chose to sponsor Meon Milton Youth FC as part of our broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community engagement initiatives. The connection is personal – Oscar Ayres, the son of a VDL Group partner, Sam Ayre, serves as the captain of the Under-13s team. Supporting a club that plays such a significant role in the local community, while also having a personal tie to our team, felt like the right way to give back.
Our sponsorship aims to support youth development, helping young players build confidence, develop their skills, and experience the benefits of being part of a team. By providing the new kits, we hope to inspire the players and show that they are valued members of the community. This initiative goes beyond financial backing – it’s about being part of a local effort that fosters growth, teamwork, and healthy habits among young athletes.
The team has already felt the impact of the sponsorship. Before our involvement, the club lacked a dedicated training kit, and players didn’t have a cohesive team look. Now, with new kits for both matches and training, the players are proud to represent their club and display their unity on and off the field.
Meon Milton Youth FC expressed their gratitude, stating:
“VDL’s generosity this season has been amazing for the team. Not only has it enabled us to provide the boys with a new home kit, but it has also allowed us to provide the boys with a new training kit, which has improved team morale, not only for the boys but for the managers and coaches alike. There is a real sense that the team is moving in the right direction, and the sponsorship from VDL is a massive part of that. Thanks to everyone at VDL for your continued support.”
VDL Group is thrilled to contribute to the positive development of Meon Milton Youth FC and is committed to supporting the team for the next two years. By investing in our local youth, we are also investing in the future of our community. We look forward to watching the Under-13s grow and succeed on the pitch and beyond.
