Introduction
At SecureStore, we believe running a local business means more than providing a great service. It means being part of the fabric of the community. While we’re known for clean, secure, and flexible storage solutions, we’re just as proud of the role we play in supporting local organisations, charities, and grassroots sports across Bury and the surrounding areas.
From helping preserve community spaces to championing women’s sport, we invest in local people because we live and work here too. This blog is a closer look at how SecureStore backs the community—from Bury Football Club to Bury Hospice, from netball courts to cricket pitches.
Because when the community thrives, we all do.
1. Supporting the Spirit of Sport: Our Local Club Sponsorships
Grassroots sport brings people together. It keeps communities healthy, young people engaged, and volunteers active. It teaches teamwork, resilience and pride—values we share at SecureStore.
Bury Football Club
Our partnership with Bury FC is more than just a logo pitch-side. This historic club has always represented the heart of Bury. We’re proud to support its return to community ownership and its efforts to rebuild both on and off the pitch.
By sponsoring Bury FC, we help fund the kit, facilities and infrastructure needed to keep this local institution alive and thriving.
Woodbank Cricket Club
Set in the heart of Bury, Woodbank is a vibrant cricket club with a growing junior section and a dedicated community ethos. Whether it’s Sunday league matches or junior training evenings, Woodbank is where local talent grows—and we’re proud to help them flourish.
Our sponsorship contributes to pitch upkeep, youth coaching and equipment costs. Supporting them means investing in the future of local sport.
YWCA Bury Netball Club
We are proud supporters of the YWCA Bury Netball Club, a key organisation providing women and girls of all ages with access to fitness, friendship and competitive sport.
Sponsoring this club reflects our commitment to backing women in sport and promoting healthy, inclusive community activity. Their work developing young players and creating pathways into adult competition is essential—and we’re behind them every step.
Holcombe Brook Tennis Club
Located just north of Bury, Holcombe Brook Tennis Club offers excellent facilities and coaching for all ages and abilities. Our sponsorship helps this club maintain its high standards, invest in equipment and grow participation.
From weekend learners to competitive players, the club provides a welcoming environment—and we’re delighted to be part of that.
2. Compassion in Action: Supporting Bury Hospice
Not all vital community work happens on the sports field. Healthcare charities like Bury Hospice provide crucial, compassionate support to people facing life-limiting illness and their families.
We are honoured to sponsor and support Bury Hospice as they continue to provide specialist care, counselling, and dignity at one of life’s most difficult times. Their role in our community cannot be overstated, and we consider it a privilege to help them continue their mission.
Whether through financial contributions, promotional support, or simply raising awareness, we’re committed to being more than just a business—we’re a neighbour who cares.
3. Why Local Sponsorship Matters
So why do we sponsor? What does it really do?
Building Stronger Communities
Sponsorship is about strengthening what already works. Local clubs and charities often survive on limited funding. Our support helps them plan, grow and serve more people.
Supporting Young People
Sport and community groups offer safe, structured environments for children and teens. Our sponsorship helps reduce barriers to participation—particularly for families facing financial pressures.
Promoting Health and Wellbeing
Whether it’s a tennis match or hospice counselling session, the organisations we support promote physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in Bury.
Reflecting Local Values
As a Bury-based business, we want to reflect the values of the people we serve: community, fairness, resilience and pride. Sponsorship isn’t just advertising. It’s alignment.
Giving Back Where It Counts
Our customers come from across Bury and Greater Manchester. We want to give back in the same places they live, work and play.
4. More Than Just a Logo: Real Partnerships
Our sponsorships aren’t transactional. We aim for active, long-term partnerships that benefit everyone involved.
Practical Support
From storage discounts to helping with event logistics, we often go beyond simple financial support. If a club or charity we sponsor needs a hand, we’re just a phone call away.
Cross-Promotion
We regularly promote our partners on social media and in our own marketing—helping build their profile as they build their programmes.
Shared Events and Initiatives
We welcome opportunities to work together on fundraisers, open days and charity drives. It builds a genuine sense of community—not just between us and the groups we support, but between all their members and our customers.
5. Local Support Makes Business Better
We don’t just do this out of goodwill—although that plays a part. Supporting local clubs and causes makes us a better business:
- It strengthens brand trust
- It keeps us connected to our customers
- It attracts staff who care about the community
- It helps us understand what matters to people in Bury
In other words: it keeps us grounded, relevant and involved.
6. How the Community Supports Us, Too
Sponsorship is a two-way street. Just as we support the community, the community supports us.
Our business thrives because Bury trusts us. Customers choose SecureStore not just because of our competitive prices and flexible access, but because they know we’re local, reliable and involved.
We’re not a faceless national chain. We’re a neighbour, a supporter, and part of the team.
7. Future Commitment: Where We’re Heading
We’re not stopping here.
As SecureStore continues to grow, we plan to expand our community sponsorships even further:
- Supporting more youth initiatives
- Partnering with more charities
- Creating accessible storage solutions for local causes
- Continuing to highlight our sponsored clubs and their success stories
We’re also exploring ways to offer practical support to community organisers and volunteers—whether that’s free storage for event gear or providing meeting space where possible.
Have an idea for a local partnership? We’d love to hear it.
Final Thoughts
SecureStore is proud to serve Bury—not just as a storage provider, but as a committed community sponsor. Whether it’s cheering from the stands, helping cover costs for club kit, or backing the work of a local hospice, we believe businesses have a responsibility to do more than just operate. They should uplift, invest and participate.
We’re grateful to work alongside incredible local organisations who make Bury a better place. And we look forward to doing even more in the months and years ahead.
