Community& Sponsorship
WE DON’T JUST SELL HOUSES…
Every year, Abode supports local sports, young people and charity within the area we trade.
It’s important to us to support local people in the same way they have supported us and our business.
We do this via a range of initiatives, whether it's sponsoring a sports team or groups, staging competitions or fundraising for local charities and people who need it.
Here are a few examples of activities from 2023.
Rocester Football Club
As one of the area’s most popular clubs, Rocester reached out seeking sponsorship for the 2022/23 season.
Abode has agreed to terms over two seasons to become the main shirt sponsor for both home and away kits, as well as branding around the ground.
“This is such a great local club and I’ve enjoyed watching them at the early part of the season”, George Brandrick, Abode.
Charity Run
Our valuer sold a property for a particularly special family.
When he realised they were raising money for their daughter, Marley, he proposed a fundraiser, which became a major focus for the team here and raised £1000, which went towards the family’s expenses.
What’s great about this is that it supported a local family.
Grass Roots Football
As well as Belvedere & Stretton, Abode sponsors 4 teams this season at grassroots level across our region.
Belvedere is a very well-run club, and the team were delighted to receive their new kit.
Ashbourne Show
As the main sponsor of the Ashbourne show Abode promotes and advertises the event.
Our Directors attend the Ashbourne Show every year and are proud to support a wonderful show where local farmers and stall holders can display their livestock and produce and receive well-deserved recognition for their hard work. We like to run a competition in the area for free tickets, which this year was won by a family from Uttoxeter.
Clifton Cricket Club
Clifton contacted our local agent seeking advertisers in order to generate income for the club.
Having played cricket here many times, our local director instantly took them up on the offer, and we are pleased to support the team.
Design Competition
Every year, Abode hold a design competition for local kids.
We invite children to really use their imagination and create their dream home. We’ve had some tremendous entries over the years. Once we establish a winner, we display their drawing on our local agency signs so that they can see the design on the streets of the town they live in, as well as receive a prize
Rocester Football Club
After being contacted by a well respected local trainer John Mackie Abode took sponsorship of “Presenting Pete” It’s been a great way to promote the brand and he’s even ran at Uttoxeter racecourse, where we were able to take a number of our customers to watch the races and enjoy viewing him in the paddock.
