Earlier this summer, we proudly announced Acronyms as returning sponsors of Plymouth Albion and one of the first businesses to join our brand-new Lineout Membership. Today, we’re delighted to share the next chapter of that partnership: Acronyms have chosen to donate their 10 community season tickets to YMCA Plymouth and Discovery College.
This generous gift will ensure that families and young people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience live professional sport can come and enjoy matchdays at Brickfields throughout the 2025/26 season.
“YMCA Plymouth support everyone in our community from the very youngest to the very oldest and so we’re delighted to be able to support them by funding 10 season tickets for the upcoming season. These tickets will allow people that otherwise may not have had the opportunity to enjoy live professional sport, to do just that. As a big rugby fan myself, I’m delighted to share the sport with more people.”
— Tom Moore, Business Development Director, Acronyms
The initiative reflects the broader purpose behind Acronyms joining the Lineout this season.
“The ability to support the wider community was one of the draws to becoming a Lineout Member this season. Plymouth is our home, and we believe we have a role to play in ensuring it is the best possible home for everyone that lives here. Working alongside Plymouth Albion and YMCA Plymouth to bring live sport to more local people brings us great pride, and I hope everyone that receives one of these tickets thoroughly enjoys the experience.”
— Dave Smith, Managing Director, Acronyms
For YMCA Plymouth and Discovery College, the impact of this donation will be felt across their work with families and students alike.
“We are incredibly thankful to Acronyms for their generous donation of season tickets to the YMCA and Discovery College. These tickets will make a meaningful difference by giving families experiencing hardship the chance to enjoy events they may not otherwise be able to access, while also providing our students with inspiring rewards for their effort and success. This gift is more than entertainment — it is a celebration of resilience, achievement, and community spirit.”
— Sarah Newberry, Youth, Family and Fundraising Manager, YMCA Plymouth & Discovery College
The partnership between Acronyms, YMCA Plymouth and Albion is a powerful example of how business, sport and community can come together to create opportunities and lasting memories.
“This is exactly what the Lineout is all about. Acronyms have shown that sponsorship isn’t just about visibility — it’s about making a difference. Their decision to donate tickets to YMCA Plymouth and Discovery College will open the doors of Brickfields to people who might not have had the chance otherwise, and that’s something really special.”
— James Greenacre, Commercial Director, Plymouth Albion
As the new season approaches, we’re excited to see the impact of this initiative and proud to have Acronyms leading the way in using sport as a force for good.
