They make sense for our players, our South West London roots or the wider women’s game. They feel like they belong at Saints.
Partner with Saints / Creative collaboration
Build something memorable with Saints.
Building a brilliant football club takes more than just the players. We want partners to come with us, bring ideas and become part of the Saints story.
Build something with us01 / Why Saints
A grassroots club with a whole world around it.
Saints has a competitive team, a close South West London community and a visual identity and brand to rival pro clubs. We also love turning football moments into stories people want to share.
When Saints began, we had one big ambition: get player subs for core football costs as close to £0 as possible, a rare feat in the grassroots game. The wonderful Tolian’s Deli helped us achieve it, but we do not want to stop there.
We want partners who can help us go above and beyond for grassroots women players. That could mean access to physiotherapy, sports therapy and massage, recovery, mental health support, nutrition, gym facilities and whatever else helps players feel cared for. Ultimately, we want to give players a professional-level offer, without professional pressure, at grassroots level.
What Saints can bring
- 01 A visual identity and brand to rival pro clubs
- 02 A football community people fall in love with
- 03 A cup-winning, undefeated team that backs it up on the pitch
- 04 Kits, illustrations and match-day stories people want to share
- 05 Ideas and experiences that make club life even better
02 / Tolian’s
They believed in us from day one.
Tolian’s Deli in Tooting backed Saints from April 2024, when there was little to see beyond the people and the ambition. Their belief grew into the kind of generous support that lets football, friendships and brilliant shared experiences take centre stage.
The drive comes from them. Tolian’s constantly asks how they can support us better, and that generosity has shaped the club from the beginning.
Tolian’s goodies have become part of our match-day rituals, from free match-day and Player of the Match treats to olives, baklava and tiramisu.
Part of everyday Saints life
Saints is celebrated whenever the team walks into the shop. Tolian’s backs us practically, generously and without hesitation, and everyone at the club feels it.
03 / More to create
Partnerships people can actually feel.
Tolian’s is our primary sponsor, but there are so many other things we would love to make with the right people. That could mean player support, shirts, events, storytelling, media or something that adds to the wider Saints experience.
For the illustrated-shirt launch, Tracks Pizza put on a pizza party at Tolian’s Deli and brought players, supporters and the local community together. Our grassroots mystery shirt box with Club Unknown ↗ carries the Saints story into the wider kit community.
The best ideas share three things:
Creative
We shape every idea together. It might live on a shirt, at an event, through photography or illustration, or as a story nobody else would tell the same way.
Mutual
It should be good for the partner, good for Saints and genuinely useful or enjoyable for the people around the club.
04 / A partnership we are looking for
We’re particularly interested in finding a physiotherapy partner.
We would love to work with a physiotherapy, sports therapy or medical provider who can help make good injury care easier to access for players without private medical cover.
We want a partner we can trust to give our players clear, honest advice and make treatment recommendations with their long-term wellbeing at heart. Over time, we hope they become the first place the whole Saints family turns when someone needs help. Players with private medical cover could choose the same provider too, bringing funded appointments into a relationship that works for everyone.
