Guernsey FC receives financial support from local entrepreneurs

Representatives of Guernsey FC’s teams. Tony Vance, Ross Allen, Anna Gauvain, Heidi Dawber, Leon Meakin and Tyrese Kelly.

Two Guernsey business couples are backing GFC with multi-year financial support.

Guy and Julia Hands, along with Maggie and Steve Lansdown, have pledged their support to Guernsey FC.

They say their backing is about helping to stabilise the club, and recognising the role it plays in the community.

The money will be invested in the men's, women's, and development teams and will help fund coaching, travel, and admin.

Julia Hands says they are proud to support Guernsey FC.

"Football has the power to bring people together and inspire future generations.

"This Club plays a unique role in our island community, and we want to help safeguard that.

"But we cannot do it alone—we hope our commitment encourages others to step forward.”

Manager of Guernsey FC Tony Vance says the squad is grateful for the 'generous commitment'.

"It gives us breathing space to focus on football and community programmes.

"To secure our long-term future, we still need more partners and donors, and we welcome conversations with anyone who can help.”
