We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Foster with Dorset Council, which will include the naming rights of the Dorset Youth Cup competitions for the 2023/24 season.  

Foster with Dorset Council's fostering service helps children in care stay close to home by placing them with foster carers from their local communities, giving young people throughout Dorset a loving, stable place to call home.

We are hoping that through this partnership, we can actively support and promote the great work Foster with Dorset Council do in our local community.   

Dorset FA’s Partnership Lead, Jemma Tewkesbury, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to partner with Foster with Dorset Council. They provide essential services in our local community, as they search for loving, local foster homes for children across Dorset. We hope this partnership can help Foster with Dorset Council reach further into our community, through football.”  

Dorset FA CEO, Roger Vaughan, said: “We are really pleased to be able to partner Foster with Dorset Council and support the excellent work they are doing in supporting young people in the county. The sponsorship of one of our most prestigious Junior Cup competitions is very fitting.”

Cllr Bryon Quayle, Dorset Council’s Portfolio Holder for Children, Education, Skills and Early Help said: “We are delighted to sponsor the Dorset Youth Cup Competitions for the 2023/24 season. Football brings joy to so many of Dorset’s young people and we are proud to lend our support and play a part in this. Dorset has a great need for foster carers, and we urge anyone who is thinking about fostering to reach out and find out more.”
