ODS is proud to announce a new three-year sponsorship deal with the Oxford Under-12s Rugby Team, providing vital support for local youth sport and helping nurture the next generation of rugby talent.
Through this partnership, the sponsorship will fund new short-sleeve shirts and essential rugby equipment for the entire team for the next three seasons. In addition, an advertising board featuring ODS will be displayed around the senior team’s pitch, further strengthening ties between the business and the local rugby community.
This initiative is part of ODS’ ongoing ‘Doing Good’ objective, which focuses on supporting the communities where the company operates.
Comment
‘We’re delighted to support the Oxford Under-12s team. Grassroots sport plays such an important role in building confidence, teamwork, and community spirit, and we’re proud to help give these young players the resources they need to thrive”
“I wish the team success in the season ahead.”
Councillor Nigel Chapman, Cabinet Member for Citizen Focused Services and Council Companies“At ODS, our ‘Doing Good’ mission is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to support the Oxford Under-12s Rugby Team through this three-year sponsorship, providing vital equipment and resources to help nurture young talent. We particularly liked the club’s values and ethos, mentioning respect, commitment and inclusivity – equal important for ODS as well. Investing in local youth sport is a meaningful way for us to give back to the communities where we operate, encouraging teamwork, resilience, and opportunity for the next generation.”
Simon Howick, Managing Director of ODS"We’re incredibly grateful to ODS for their generous support of our Under 12s and the wider mini rugby programme. This sponsorship helps us to provide a fun, safe, and inclusive environment where young players can develop their skills and grow a lifelong love for the game.
“Without financial help like this, it would be very difficult to provide such a valuable amenity as Oxford RFC for the local community. We are a proudly player-led, community-based club, passionately local in everything we do, and support like this makes all the difference."
John Brodley, Chair Oxford RFC
Last weekend the team played Bicester away and the boys absolutely loved the new shirts. It was the first run out in the brand news kit and it must be a good luck charm because they won 80 points to 20.
