Sevenoaks Town FC

What Sevenoaks Town FC does

Sevenoaks Town FC is a grassroots community football club established in 1883 and headquartered at Greatness Park in Sevenoaks, Kent, United Kingdom. It is constituted as a registered charity (charity number 1137673) and private limited company (company number 07298016), operating entirely through 197 volunteers with no disclosed paid employees. The club fields 66 teams across youth (42 sides U7–U18), men's (Isthmian League South East Division), women's (London and South East Women's Football League), disability (powerchair), and walking football categories, serving 1,173+ registered players and reporting an estimated £2.2 million of annual social value to the local community.

The core product is football participation anchored by The Bourne Stadium — a 3G full-size artificial pitch installed in 2017 — supported by a clubhouse offering refreshments, matchday programmes, and event space. Service lines include competitive league football, walking football for adults over 50, powerchair football for disabled participants, and school-holiday football camps for children aged 5–12. The club holds England Football 3-Star accreditation for safeguarding and welfare standards. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, local events, social media, partnerships with the Football Foundation, Kent FA, and local councils, alongside a Puma-branded club shop and a 6-part documentary series.

Revenue is generated through matchday ticket sales (adults £10, concessions £5, under 18s £1), multi-tier corporate sponsorship (47 active commercial sponsors in 2024/25, with player sponsorships from £150/season and larger packages), merchandise, and transactional camp fees (approximately £17/day). Capital projects are predominantly grant-funded rather than equity-financed; a £1.78 million Football Foundation grant secured in June 2025 is funding construction of the new Greatness Pavilion, scheduled for completion in August 2026.
