The Rank Group hands over its sponsorship of the Ipswich Town football team to a charity

The Carers Trust logo will appear on the front of the club's first-team shirts at the start of the 2020/221 season, as well as on all replica shirts, including the juniors. With over 4500 carers in and around Suffolk, this sponsorship will not only put a spotlight on Carers Trust, we hope that it will also help to drive fundraising for the charity in the area and offer much needed respite for a number of local carers who will be offered complimentary tickets to home games at Portman Road.

“Having their name on the front of the Ipswich Town first-team shirts will help spotlight the fantastic work Carers Trust does in supporting unpaid carers locally and across the whole country,” said James Boord, chief marketing officer for Rank’s digital business.

“Thousands of carers across Suffolk alone are caring around the clock for family members with long-term disabilities and illnesses.

We have also fully backed Ipswich Town FC’s decision to pay tribute to the NHS on the back of the first-team shirts for next season, with James adding: “It’s great to see both the NHS and carers receiving recognition on the Ipswich Town shirts, especially in these challenging times.”

Rosie Richardson, director of sales at Ipswich Town FC, said: “We are delighted to help Rank’s chosen charity by offering support to Carers Trust, which reaches out to a number of fantastic community initiatives.”
