**Rosie & Java® Becomes Elite Sponsor of Steyning Town Community Football Club and Proud Sponsor of U18 Youth Team Kit**
Rosie & Java® (R&J), veteran-owned tea and coffee merchants, is excited to announce its new role as an elite sponsor of Steyning Town Community Football Club (STCFC). The sponsorship includes funding support for the club as well as sponsoring the U18 youth team’s kit, which made its debut during their first game of the season on Tuesday, 13 August 2024.
R&J is an online-only business now based in Steyning, run by married couple Chris and Alice Bright. Chris, a veteran of the British Army, and Alice, a former primary school teacher, decided to swap city life in Richmond, West London, for the countryside of Steyning to establish roots for their family and create a hub for their growing online business. They are thrilled to contribute to the ongoing growth and success of STCFC, a club with a proud history dating back to 1892.
“We are honoured to support the U18s and contribute to the broader success of Steyning Town Community Football Club,” said Chris, co-owner of R&J. “Being part of this community and helping to enhance the experience for both players and fans is something we truly value.”
Alice Bright, co-owner of R&J, added, “This sponsorship is more than just a business opportunity for us—it’s a chance to give back to the community that has welcomed us so warmly. We look forward to cheering on the team and seeing our brand become part of the local sports culture.”
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support from Rosie & Java®,” said Jon Roberts coach of the U18 team. “The new kit not only looks fantastic, but it also boosts the team’s morale knowing that a local business is backing them. We’re excited to wear it throughout the season.”
The new U18 kit prominently features R&J’s branding, with the tagline “Fuelled by Rosieandjava.com” displayed across the chest along with the description “Veteran Owned Tea and Coffee Merchant.” The R&J logo is also proudly displayed on the sleeve in a round design with the initials “R&J” at the centre. Additionally, R&J has a prominent pitch-side board at the club’s home ground, further reinforcing their support for the team and the community.
As part of the sponsorship, R&J is offering a special discount code to all readers. By visiting Rosieandjava.com and using the code **U18STCFC**, customers can enjoy 5% off all tea and coffee products (excluding equipment).
“We are thrilled to welcome Rosie & Java® as an elite sponsor,” said Ian Nichols, Chairman of Steyning Town Community Football Club. “Their support goes a long way in helping us maintain and grow our club, and we look forward to a successful partnership. We sincerely hope these great teas and coffees find their way in to home in Steyning & the surrounding areas. We are very grateful to Chris & Alice for their support”
