Ashington Football Club is excited to partner with QTS, one of the world’s leaders in global digital infrastructure. Through this partnership QTS will provide invaluable support to our club, particularly in enhancing our positive reach for the benefit of the local community. The generous backing from QTS, along with the outstanding fundraising efforts from our supporters, has further solidified Ashington’s future, considering the longstanding commitment from our existing sponsors. This partnership will significantly boost our ability to contribute positively to the community.

During the 2024/25 season, we launched the “Build The Budget” campaign, which saw incredible support from our fans, local businesses, and personal but generous contributions from members of the club’s board. These efforts were crucial in keeping the team on the pitch and in the Northern Premier League this season. This new partnership with QTS gets us off to a good start in our fundraising for next season, ensuring that we can continue to build on our successes and make a positive impact on the community.

Our Chair, Nicola Sanders-Cooper, remarked, “We are thrilled to have QTS on board as a sponsor. Their support, combined with the dedication of our supporters, local businesses, volunteers, and board members, has been instrumental in adding to the future of Ashington Football Club. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the club, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to enhance our facilities and make a positive impact on the community.”

QTS is involved in the redevelopment of the former Power Station site at neighbouring Cambois into a new data centre campus, further demonstrating their commitment to the region. QTS is dedicated to serving communities and we are proud that they have chose to call ours, home!

 “Our partnership with Ashington represents our commitment to supporting the communities in which we live, work and operate in,” said David Murray, Senior Vice President of Community Impact, QTS. “We believe in the power of the football club to connect the community, bring people together to achieve great things, and we are excited to be part of this journey. Together, we are excited about the future both on and off the field.”

Thank you to QTS for their kind support this season, we looked forward to working with their team to make a real impact as a non-profit football club and community hub. Together, we are building a brighter future for Ashington Football Club and our local area.
