Innovate Dorset Announced as Headline Partner of the First-Ever Mudeford Phoenix Summer Tournament

Mudeford Phoenix Football Club is proud to announce Innovate Dorset Ltd as the Headline Partner for our first-ever Mudeford Phoenix Summer Tournament, taking place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June.

As a club built on community spirit, inclusion and providing opportunities for young people to thrive through football, we are delighted to welcome an organisation whose values align so closely with our own.

Innovate Dorset is a pioneering alternative education provider that supports children and young people across Dorset through mentoring, tutoring, youth projects and post-16 programmes. Their work focuses on empowering young people with the confidence, communication skills and practical support they need to achieve their full potential and succeed both in education and in life.

This partnership represents much more than sponsorship. It is a shared commitment to creating positive experiences for young people, helping them develop resilience, teamwork and self-belief through the opportunities that grassroots sport provides.

Mudeford Phoenix Chairman Ian Roff said:

"We are incredibly proud to welcome Innovate Dorset as the headline partner of our inaugural Summer Tournament. Partnerships like this are vital for grassroots football, enabling clubs like ours to continue providing opportunities for children to develop, stay active and be part of something special within their community.Innovate Dorset's commitment to supporting young people mirrors everything we strive to achieve at Mudeford Phoenix. Together, we can make a real difference both on and off the pitch, and we are excited to build this relationship for the benefit of the families and players we serve."

A spokesperson from Innovate Dorset added:

From exciting matches and memorable moments to the opportunity for young players to showcase their talents, the tournament is set to become a highlight of the local football calendar.

We would like to thank Innovate Dorset for their support and belief in what grassroots football can achieve.

The tournament takes place on 27th and 28th June, and we'd love to see as many people as possible come along to support the players, volunteers and everyone involved in making this special event a success.
