FreeFlo Heating Proud to Sponsor Margate White Under 11s Football Team
Supporting our local community starts with investing in young talent. FreeFlo Heating is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Margate White Under 11s, helping local children build confidence, teamwork skills, and a love for the beautiful game.
We're incredibly proud to announce that FreeFlo Heating is now the official sponsor of Margate White Under 11s football team. As a family-run business deeply rooted in the Thanet community, supporting local youth sports isn't just good business - it's the right thing to do. These young footballers represent the future of Margate, and we're honoured to play a small part in their journey.
1Why Supporting Youth Football Matters
When you're a local Kent business like FreeFlo, you see first-hand the importance of community. We serve families across Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate every day - fixing boilers, installing heating systems, and keeping homes warm. Many of our customers are parents whose children play for local clubs like Margate White U11. Supporting their teams means supporting the families we work with.
✅What Youth Sports Teach
Football isn't just about kicking a ball. It teaches children teamwork, discipline, resilience, and confidence - life skills that will serve them long after they hang up their boots. Grassroots clubs like Margate White provide a safe, structured environment where kids can learn, grow, and make lifelong friends.
2Meet the Margate White Under 11s
Margate White Under 11s is part of Margate FC's youth development program, one of the most respected grassroots football setups in Kent. The team trains weekly at local pitches and competes in the Thanet & District Youth League, representing our town with pride. These young players, aged 10-11, show incredible dedication - turning up for training rain or shine, supporting each other through wins and losses, and constantly improving their skills.
The team is led by volunteer coaches who give up their weekends and evenings to nurture young talent. Without sponsors like FreeFlo, these clubs struggle to afford basic necessities - match kits, training equipment, pitch hire, and travel costs. Our sponsorship ensures the team can focus on what matters: developing as players and enjoying the game.
The Team in Their New FreeFlo Kits
The day we revealed the new kits was unforgettable. Seeing the excitement on the children's faces as they pulled on their FreeFlo-branded shirts for the first time reminded us exactly why community sponsorship matters. It's not just about a logo on a shirt - it's about showing these kids that local businesses believe in them and want to see them succeed.
3Why Local Businesses Should Support Local Sports
Thriving communities are built on mutual support. When businesses like FreeFlo invest in youth sports, we're not just writing a cheque - we're strengthening the entire community fabric. Parents see that local companies care about more than profit. Children learn that hard work and dedication are valued. And local clubs get the resources they need to continue their vital work.

4The Real Impact of Grassroots Sponsorship
Our sponsorship provides Margate White Under 11s with brand new match and training kits, training equipment like cones and footballs, contribution to pitch hire costs, and help with travel expenses for away matches. But the intangible benefits matter even more - the confidence boost children feel wearing professional-looking kits, the sense of pride representing a sponsored team, and the lesson that their community supports and values them.
ℹ️What Parents Are Saying
"As a parent, seeing FreeFlo sponsor our son's team means the world. It shows local businesses genuinely care. The new kits look fantastic, and the kids are so proud to wear them." - Dan, Margate parent
5FreeFlo's Commitment to Thanet
Sponsoring Margate White Under 11s is just one way FreeFlo gives back to the community we serve. Over our 15+ years in business, we've built relationships with thousands of local families. Many of our engineers live in Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate - they coach youth teams, support local schools, and volunteer in the community. This sponsorship reflects our values: integrity, community, and investing in the future.
We're committed to supporting Margate White for the long term, not just one season. As the team grows and progresses through the youth leagues, FreeFlo will be there cheering them on - from the sidelines and as proud sponsors. We also hope our sponsorship inspires other Thanet businesses to invest in grassroots sports. Imagine the impact if every local company supported just one youth team!
