Football pitch and sponsor board

We are delighted to announce that Histon Football Club (FC) is partnering with Arthur Rank Hospice Charity for the remainder of the 2024/25 season and throughout the 2025/26 season.

One of Histon FC’s existing sponsors (who prefers to remain anonymous) has generously funded advertising space on the roof of the dugouts, as well as two matchday sponsorships—one for this season, on 5 April 2025, and another for the following season. This partnership will run until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Jodie Vaughan, Income Generation & Communications Director at Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, said

“We are very grateful to Histon FC; players, staff, and fans, for showing their support for our Charity alongside the local business who generously gifted us the use of their promotional space at the grounds.

We are delighted to partner with local organisations across our community to raise awareness of our services and the funds we need to keep them going. This generous support from the club will help us continue the work we do across Cambridgeshire to support people living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end of life care. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who gets involved and the best of luck to Histon FC for the season!”

This partnership is a shining example of how a local organisation can use their platform and network to support the Charity to provide care free of charge across to 3,600 patients and their families every year.

Paul Smart, Finance Director at Histon FC, praised the partnership and said:

“It is through the generosity of a very kind sponsor, we are delighted to support this important charity, which has and continues to provide such wonderful care and support to our community. We look forward to raising much needed funds for the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity over the next 18 months or so.”

The dugout boards, which have been designed by Redactive who kindly volunteered their time to produce an eye-catching design, are now in place and look fantastic. Additionally, keep an eye out for posters around the ground, which will provide information on how you can support Histon FC’s fundraiser.

Plans are already underway for the match on 5 April 2025, when Arthur Rank Hospice Charity team and Arthur Bear will be in attendance. Stay tuned for further announcements about how the Charity will be involved at this match.
