supporting valuable causes
Charity and Partnerships
Here at Spanish City, we are dedicated to supporting valuable causes through match, player and kit sponsorships, special events, fundraising activities, donations - and much more. With supporting local causes at the heart of everything we do, as well as selecting a local charity, national charity and a local team of the year, we also support other local charities and teams in a variety of ways.

Fisherman's Mission, local centre - North Shields
More than 13,000 people work in fishing: the UK’s toughest and most dangerous peacetime occupation, at sea, they face death and injury with an average of 15 fishermen killed or seriously injured every year. On land, many struggle with insecurity and debt. And for the 50,000 retired fishermen and their families, the fishing may have ended but the hardship continues as they face debt, scant savings, loneliness and isolation.
The Fishermen’s Mission reaches out to both active and retired fishermen by providing practical, spiritual and financial support – as well as a vital emergency response service.
