Manchester Storm are delighted to announce a new partnership with Seashell Trust, naming them our Charity of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign.

This meaningful collaboration will see Manchester Storm and Seashell work closely throughout the season to raise awareness and support for the vital work the charity does. As part of the partnership, Seashell will be the official partner of our warm up jerseys as well as their logo featuring prominently on all game – worn jerseys throughout the upcoming campaign.

Based in Greater Manchester, Seashell is a charity dedicated to supporting children and young people aged 4 to 25 with complex learning disabilities, and additional communication needs. Through their specialist school and college, residential care, and inclusive sports and therapy services, Seashell provides a safe and nurturing environment where every individual has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Their holistic approach extends well beyond the classroom—offering support to families and communities across the country.

Hannah Baines, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Seashell, shared her excitement about the partnership:

“Being chosen as Manchester Storm’s Charity of the Year is a proud moment for Seashell and a powerful reflection of the spirit that runs through our city. This partnership brings together two communities – the passionate supporters of Manchester Storm and the children, young people, and families we support at Seashell. Together, we’re shining a light on those facing some of life’s toughest challenges and creating opportunities for every young person to thrive.

With the energy and heart of the Manchester Storm community, players, fans, and families behind us, we’re building a region where inclusion, support, and belief in every young person’s potential comes first. We can’t wait to see the impact this year brings.”

Mark Noakes, Director of Operations at Manchester Storm, echoed the sentiment:

“We are proud to partner with Seashell Trust for the 25/26 season and look forward to working closely with them on a number of joint initiatives. Our players are inspired by the incredible work being done at Seashell and are eager to meet the young people and staff at the Trust.”

In addition to the jersey sponsorship, Manchester Storm and Seashell will collaborate on a series of exciting projects and experiences throughout the season – creating unforgettable moments for the young people supported by Seashell. We look forward to welcoming them to the Storm Shelter throughout the season.

Stay tuned for more details on this partnership in the coming weeks.
