At Saint Cecilia’s Care Group, we are passionate about supporting our local community – and nothing brings people together in Scarborough quite like football. That’s why we are proud to once again sponsor Scarborough Athletic Football Club (affectionately known as “the Boro”) for the 2025/26 season.
This long-standing partnership reflects our shared values of teamwork, resilience, and community spirit. Just as our care teams are dedicated to supporting local families every day, Scarborough Athletic FC inspire pride, passion, and togetherness both on and off the pitch.
A Challenging Start to the Season
The new season has presented some unexpected challenges for the club. Scarborough Athletic were forced to temporarily relocate to the Mounting Systems Stadium in Bridlington after a survey revealed problems with the drainage system and ground instability at their home pitch. The survey was originally carried out in preparation for resurfacing work for the new season but instead uncovered serious structural issues that postponed the improvements and left the Seadogs without a home venue.
While it’s never easy for players or fans to adapt to such changes, the club has shown remarkable resilience. Supporters are continuing to travel to Bridlington to cheer on the team, demonstrating once again how deeply Scarborough Athletic is rooted in the heart of our community.
A Partnership Built on Community Spirit
Saint Cecilia’s Care Group has a proud history of working with and supporting local organisations, and our ongoing sponsorship of Scarborough Athletic FC is one of the ways we give back to the town we call home.
Speaking about the renewed sponsorship, Aaron Padgham, Managing Director of Saint Cecilia’s Care Group, said:
“Saint Cecilia’s are delighted to continue our Scarborough Athletic sponsorship and we wish the team well for the season ahead.”
Aaron recently met with Trevor Bull, Chairman of Scarborough Athletic, to reaffirm our support and commitment to the club.
Why Supporting Scarborough Athletic Matters
Scarborough Athletic is more than just a football club – it is a symbol of pride for the town. The team represents Scarborough in the National League North, bringing national recognition to our coastal community. Each matchday is an opportunity for families, friends, and fans to come together, celebrate their town, and support their team through every challenge and triumph.
At Saint Cecilia’s Care Group, we understand the importance of that sense of belonging. Whether it’s in our care homes, day centres like The Lounge, or through partnerships like this one, we believe that building strong connections is vital for wellbeing.
Looking Ahead to the Season
Despite a rocky start, we are confident that the Seadogs will rise to the challenge and do Scarborough proud. We’ll be following every kick, every goal, and every victory with pride, and we encourage the whole town to continue backing their team.
From everyone at Saint Cecilia’s Care Group: good luck Scarborough Athletic for the 2025/26 season – we’re behind you all the way!
