Ongo's new partnership with Doncaster Rovers Football Club
6 February 2025
We’re able to reach thousands of people through the club’s fan base, making sure as many people as possible know about the support we can provide to them.
Ongo has teamed up with Doncaster Rovers Football Club to offer a new and exciting initiative to tenants and customers, as part of their commitment to investing in local communities and being customer focused.
The unique partnership, which also includes the Club Doncaster Foundation, will bring opportunities to people of all ages.
Opportunities include tickets for each home, league game for the remainder of the season, as well as selected stadium tours with VIP seating and a Moment of Magic for one deserving winner. Ongo tenants and customers can apply for tickets using the this link.
Promotion of Ongo services to fans will also be a focus, including mental health support and projects to help to get people into work and training.
Kevin Hornsby, Director of Customer Services at Ongo said: “We are delighted to team up with Doncaster Rovers FC to offer a new and exciting initiative to our tenants and customers, as part of our commitment to investing in local communities.
“We know how passionate people are about the club so it’s great we’re able to not only invest in them, but in our tenants and customers too, bringing huge benefits and creating new ways to engage in our services.
“We want to increase the number of opportunities for people to access sport and football related activities, whilst being able to attend games at their local club.
“Another great part is that we’re able to reach thousands of people through the club’s fan base, making sure as many people as possible know about the support we can provide to them.”
Gaynor Waddington, Head of Partnerships at Club Doncaster said: “We are very proud of our new partnership with Ongo, who are so passionate about the work they undertake in the community to improve the lives and wellbeing of those they are supporting.
“For us, it is really important to utilise the ticketing, hospitality and bespoke packages in such a unique way, to offer an enhanced matchday experience to our increasing cohort of charity partners.
“Thank you to Kevin and the team for trusting us with their partnership and we look forward to hosting their guests this season and in future years, whilst promoting the charity.”
