Charters announced as Women’s kit sponsor

Aldershot Town Football Club is thrilled to announce that Charters will be the official front-of-shirt and training wear sponsor for the newly formed Aldershot Town FC Women’s team. This exciting new partnership marks another step forward in our ongoing commitment to growing the women’s game and supporting grassroots football within our community.

The launch of the Women’s team is a significant milestone for the Club, and we are proud to be partnering with a sponsor that shares our passion for local football, community spirit, and sporting excellence. Charters’ support will play a key role in helping us build a strong foundation for the team as they embark on their first season of competitive football.

Charters’ association with Aldershot Town stretches back to 1980, making them the longest-serving sponsor in the Club’s history. Their continued support has been a cornerstone of our journey, and this latest development reflects the growing importance of women’s football on both national and local stages.
We are especially pleased to welcome Charters’ backing for the Women’s team at a time when interest and participation in the women’s game is booming — inspired in no small part by the Lionesses’ historic victory at the UEFA Women’s Euros. The momentum is now being felt in communities like ours, where women and girls of all ages are embracing the game with energy and pride.

Emily McQueen of Charters shared her enthusiasm for the partnership, saying:

“As a local business which has really strong ties with the club, it’s a real pleasure to have the opportunity to show our support to the women’s team with a 2 year shirt deal. I’m a huge fan of women’s football in general and was lucky enough to attend the Women’s Euros during the summer, so to be able to show our commitment and support to our local team is a real honour.

We’ve thought long and hard about the look of the shirt and decided to go for a retro feel using the 2000 logo which is when we were first shirt sponsors for the club. We’re wishing the team success in the coming season and we’ll be there cheering you on!”

This sponsorship signifies more than just a name on a shirt — it’s a symbol of shared values: dedication, community, equality, and ambition. We are proud to stand alongside Charters as we launch this new era for Aldershot Town Football Club and the local women’s game.

We encourage all fans to get behind the team, attend matches, and be part of this exciting new chapter. With the community’s support and Charters’ backing, we are confident the Aldershot Town FC Women’s team will become a lasting source of pride for our Club and our town.
