With Accessibility, Inclusion and Participation as the guiding principles, the feedback below illustrates the importance of this support across the country.
“Simple Life’s support for Apley Ospreys FC has been crucial in setting up the football club in 2026. Through their support we have been able to secure a training facility for the winter months, purchase training equipment and even buy the club its first ever kit. Without the support of Simple Life, it would not have been possible for the club to cover such costs without asking the parents to contribute more than they already do, which seems particularly unfair in a cost-of-living crisis. Some of our participants also live on a local Simple Life estate so the club is able to provide opportunities to Simple Life residents in the local area. Everyone at Apley Ospreys wishes to thank Simple Life for their partnership and support for the 2026/27 season”. Stephen Whyle, Apley Ospreys FC Founder and Chairman
“The generosity and support that Simple Life has shown towards everyone at Bishop’s Stortford Community Ladies FC is about far more than supporting a football team. Their investment allows us to create opportunities by removing financial barriers and providing an environment where women and girls can belong, grow and thrive. We are incredibly grateful for their belief in what we are building and proud to have Simple Life alongside us as we create something with a lasting impact within our community.” Josh Cornell, Manager, Bishop’s Stortford Community Ladies FC
Adam Graham from De La Salle RFC commented, “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Simple Life as the sponsor of our U7, U8 and U9 teams. Your commitment to supporting all three teams with a donation of £1,500 is greatly appreciated and will make a real difference to our young players and the club. Our goals around accessibility, inclusion and participation are at the heart of everything we do, so it’s fantastic to be partnering with an organisation that shares those same values.”
We look forward to sharing news and sharing photos from each club in the months ahead.
