Powering the Derby: Meet the Sponsors Behind BSB25

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Sponsors

As the wheels spin, the crowd cheers, and the atmosphere buzzes across Chalet Hill, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of the Bordon Soapbox Derby. But behind the thrills, behind the scenes, and behind every detail that makes this day possible is a generous network of local sponsors who have stepped up not for applause, but out of pure community spirit.


We pause to say, thank you.


Supporting More Than Just a Race

The Bordon Soapbox Derby is more than just a fun day out. It’s a platform for change, a moment of joy that drives real impact. And none of that would be possible without the sponsorship of local businesses and organisations who’ve provided everything from funding and logistics, to creative energy and sheer belief in what we’re building together.


These sponsors have helped cover the real costs of this event—from insurance and infrastructure to materials, printing, signage, safety, and entertainment. And by doing so, they’ve freed up the vital funds raised through donations to go directly where they’re needed most—our four chosen community causes.


Trackside Thanks

Walking down the course today, you’ll see trackside banners, flags, and signage lining the route. These aren’t just ads. They’re statements. They say: “We believe in community. We’re part of this.”


To every company who sponsored a trackside banner, helped us raise visibility, or supported the logistics of building this temporary racecourse—thank you. You’ve helped us create a visual spectacle and a safe, exciting space for thousands to enjoy.


In Print and On Record

Our official Soapbox Magazine is now in the hands of thousands of visitors—and it proudly features dozens of adverts and shoutouts from our sponsors. These pages are more than just information—they are a tribute to the community of businesses that rally behind this event.


Whether it’s a full-page placement or a small mention, every entry is a mark of your commitment to our town. And when the day is over, this magazine will live on in homes as a memento of what we achieved together.


Funding Real Change

Thanks to your sponsorship, we’ve been able to allocate meaningful funding to four causes that matter deeply to our community:


  • Bordon Food Bank, helping families in crisis
  • The Green Room School, supporting children with emotional and educational needs
  • Greatham School, fundraising for a much-needed all-weather sports pitch
  • Help for Heroes, honouring and assisting our Armed Forces families


Your support helps us transform adrenaline and applause into real action—and for that, we are truly grateful.

Not Just Sponsors—Partners in Purpose


This event is proudly 100% not-for-profit. It’s built by volunteers, run by the community, and supported by businesses who see value in people over profit. Our sponsors are not just names on a board—they are neighbours, friends, local champions.

You’ve backed the dream, fuelled the fun, and helped make this one of Hampshire’s most vibrant and meaningful community events.


With Gratitude, From All of Us at Soapbox HQ

To every single sponsor who helped make this year’s event possible—whether through banners, magazine ads, in-kind donations, time, or encouragement—we offer our sincere thanks. Your support has brought smiles, created memories, and helped change lives.


So when you see a sponsor’s name today—on a banner, in the magazine, or online—take a moment to thank them too. Support their business. Share their page. Let them know their contribution matters.


Here’s to racing for a reason. Here’s to sponsors who care.
