Crowborough Athletic Youth Under-7s have been kitted out for the season thanks to local car dealership SLM Vauxhall in Tunbridge Wells.
It's the second year the company has backed the club, supporting grassroots sports as part of the Vauxhall Youth Football programme.
SLM Vauxhall has provided the team with a brand new kit and accessories worth up to £500 for upcoming tournaments.
Jonathan Tatlock, general manager at SLM Vauxhall, said: “We are so pleased to be sponsoring Crowborough Athletic Youth FC for a second year, as the club and its grounds are at the heart of our local community.
"As a family-owned dealer group, we strongly believe that contributing to the community makes a big difference.”
As a volunteer driven club, Crowborough Athletic relies on support from the local community and businesses. SLM Vauxhall hopes to inspire businesses alike to invest in sport clubs and make a difference in their local area.
Athletic manager Sharon Hammond said: “Wearing the club’s kit is really important to the children as it gives them a huge sense of pride.
"It’s fantastic that businesses like SLM Vauxhall support us, as it means we can save money on kits and equipment and invest in other areas to make the games the best possible experience for the children.”
