The Stamford Quarter, in the heart of Altrincham, is thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with Altrincham Football Club as the official shirt sponsor for its volunteers.

Altrincham FC is home to a large and passionate volunteer community who are the heart and soul of the club and vital to its operation. From August, Altrincham FC’s volunteer army will be sponsored by The Stamford Quarter and presented with new shirts, bringing a sense of community to the games and volunteers’ activities.

The Stamford Quarter is the beating heart of Altrincham and central to its vibrant culture, offering a diverse range of high-quality retail and leisure experiences to locals and visitors alike.

The partnership represents the union of two esteemed institutions that share a passion for promoting the town’s huge level of community spirit and fostering a sense of belonging as well as enhancing the area's vitality, which aligns perfectly with Altrincham Football Club's mission to inspire and unite the community through the power of football. Together The Stamford Quarter and Altrincham FC aim to build upon the heritage and success of the club while championing the growth and prosperity of the Altrincham community.

Commenting on the partnership, Andrea George, Director - Town Centres and Consumer Brands at Bruntwood, said: "We are delighted to join forces with Altrincham Football Club as the first ever official shirt sponsor for its volunteer programme.

"As a vital part of the local community, The Stamford Quarter has always been committed to supporting Altrincham's progress and prosperity. We are thrilled to unite our efforts with Altrincham FC, an esteemed club with a rich history and an unwavering dedication to the community.”

Altrincham Football Club, known affectionately as "The Robins," has enjoyed remarkable success on and off the field, forging deep connections with its passionate supporters.

Sam Mackenzie, Director of Partnerships and Sponsorships at Altrincham Football Club, commented: "The partnership we are starting with Bruntwood is centred around our volunteers. Our volunteer group are the very heartbeat of the football club: delivering our media output, working on match day, answering the phones, painting the fences, selling retail, working the turnstiles, maintaining our pitch and so much more.

“The core values Bruntwood holds around Altrincham mirror our own. For me, this is a perfect partnership and I thank Bruntwood for their support. To be able to get our volunteers looking and feeling part of the club is just such a wonderful contribution.“
