Stonegate Homes work with Dorking Wanderers teams at all levels, promoting community engagement, local sporting activity and boosting the benefits of Dorking’s new football stadium for the whole of the town. The state-of-the-art Meadowbank stadium opened for the current 2018/19 season and provides a home ground for all Dorking Wanderers’ teams, including the local Development Squad, Ladies, Under 18s and Veterans, as well as hosting training for more than a thousand boys and girls playing in grassroots youth clubs. The clubhouse will be available for use seven days a week and the superb Healthy Kitchen is run as a not for profit to help re-invest proceeds in to the club.
The name of Stonegate Homes is very visible at the ground with the eponymous stand being filled every match day and the players entering the pitch through the branded tunnel. As well as that, the name appears on the front of shirts on a majority of Dorking Wanderers’ community-based teams from ages 4 through to senior level and our arrangement includes Stonegate sponsoring the training kit for all teams and the prestigious first team Player of the Month and Man of the Match awards.
“As a locally based company we have been aware of the incredible progress Dorking Wanderers has been making up the league pyramid, putting the town on the map. So when we knew there was an opportunity to support the club on the next part of its journey, moving into Meadowbank, we really wanted to be involved,” explains Stonegate Homes’ founder Jeremy Hinds.
“We absolutely love the new stadium and the chance to be involved with something at the heart of the community is very important to us.” Jeremy Hinds adds, “When we met with the volunteers who run Dorking Wanderers, it was immediately clear how much the club meant to them and we hope their passion is shared by more and more Dorking residents as the club continue to grow both on and off the pitch. We’re incredibly enthusiastic about the hundreds of players who represent their local club at all levels – as well as the many hundreds more who we hope will make use of the new stadium
“Dorking Wanderers, Stonegate Homes and Meadowbank are a natural fit,” says the club’s Chairman, Marc White. “More than just a football club, as tenants at the new stadium we want to make this public facility work for the entire community, revitalising this part of the town. Stonegate have been doing that throughout the South East – they’re the experts.
Stonegate Homes were delighted to be the headline sponsors of the second edition of the Injured Jockey Fund Floodlit Football Match which took place at Cheltenham Town Football Club after the days racing at Cheltenham Racecourse on Wednesday 18th April. A hotly contested match saw an AP McCoy XI take on a Cheltenham Town Legends XI which resulted in a highly entertaining 2-2 draw. There was also a fun half time penalty shoot-out which saw a raft of well-known trainers put under the intense pressure of scoring a penalty under pressure!
Most importantly, the whole event smashed last year’s fundraising total of £25,000 to raise a whopping £45,000 which will go directly to supporting the fantastic work carried out by the Injured Jockey Fund. The next edition of this superb event will be held at Cheltenham again next year on Wednesday 17th April.
