Up The Tigers: Sponsoring Healthy Passions and Premier League Dreams
The entire city of Kingston upon Hull is buzzing. Hull City AFC hitting the promotion mark and climbing back into the Premier League isn’t just a sporting triumph—it’s a massive win for community spirit, local pride, and the local economy. At Launchpad 72, we believe that energy should reach everyone, including those fighting for a second chance.
Rehabilitation isn’t just about filling out forms, attending mandatory probation reviews at Hull Central, or sitting in clinical rooms. True resettlement means rediscovering joy, rebuilding an identity, and feeling like a valued part of the local community again. That is why we are launching an official campaign to bring the power of live football to our service users.
Why the Stadium Matters in Modern Rehabilitation
Breaking the Isolation Loop
Walking out of the HMP Hull gates can be a profoundly lonely experience. Many lads cut ties with old acquaintances to stay clean, leaving them with no positive social outlets. Standing in a roaring crowd of 25,000 people at the MKM Stadium instills an instant, powerful feeling of belonging to something greater than oneself.
The Milestone Reward Framework
We aren’t just handing out tickets at random. These match-day experiences will form our official ‘Milestone Reward Structure.’ Tickets will be earned by clients who are showing absolute commitment to their future—maintaining perfect attendance with probation, completing Jobcentre training courses, or hitting recovery targets.
Experiencing a Natural High
For individuals recovering from long-term substance addiction, learning how to experience excitement, adrenaline, and community celebration without turning to substances is a critical milestone. A Premier League match day offers the ultimate environment to practice clean, healthy immersion.
Our Appeal to Local Businesses and Season Ticket Holders
To make this vision an operational reality, we are officially reaching out to our network across East Yorkshire. We are attempting to secure allocations of home match tickets for the upcoming season, and we need your leverage to open these doors.
How Local Corporate Sponsors Can Support Us:
Do you run a local Hull business with a corporate box or an annual ticket allocation at the MKM Stadium? Do you have seats that occasionally sit empty during midweek fixtures or specific weekend matches? Donating those unused seats to Launchpad 72 directly fuels a person’s rehabilitation journey.
We are actively seeking warm introductions to the community liaison teams at Hull City AFC, corporate sponsors, or independent season ticket holders who want to donate single matches to a life-changing cause.
