Why We Sponsor
Grassroots sport gives young people far more than a place to play. It builds confidence, teaches teamwork and creates a genuine sense of belonging, on and off the pitch.
Our sponsorship is designed to remove the barriers that stop young athletes from taking part. From new kits and equipment to tournament entry fees and training facility access, we’re committed to ensuring that no young person misses out simply because of cost. This season, teams representing football, rugby, basketball, diving, curling and disability sport will all benefit from GAP’s support.

Our Ongoing Commitment
Douglas Gordon, Group Major Account Director at GAP, said: “Ten years. It still feels like one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. There’s something about grassroots sport that reminds you what community really means, coaches giving up their weekends, families on the sidelines in all weathers, young players who just love the game. We don’t just put the GAP logo on a kit and step back. We stand behind every one of these teams, and we’re genuinely proud to do it. Here’s to a fantastic 2026/27 season!”
Looking to the Future
As the 2026/27 season gets under way, we’ll be following every team’s progress closely, sharing updates, celebrating achievements and cheering them on throughout the year.
To all the players, coaches and families, good luck this season. We’re right behind you.
