At Cathedral Wealth Management we believe the clubs that bring this city together deserve real support. That’s why we’re proud sponsors of two local sides, one nearly a century old and one writing its story right now.
Good financial planning is about the long term, and so is a good sports club. Both rely on commitment, teamwork and people who show up season after season.
Our sponsorships help keep pitches maintained, kit on players’ backs and pathways open for the next generation, from minis taking their first steps on a rugby field to young women competing at national level.
Known to their supporters as the Blues, Chichester RFC has been part of city life since 1926. Home is Oaklands Park, one of the most picturesque rugby grounds in the South East, with views across the city to the Cathedral itself.
Key dates
Year | Milestone |
1926 | Club founded |
1946 | Oaklands Park becomes home |
1975 | Mini and junior section founded |
1994 | Women’s rugby begins at the club |
Senior men’s sides, a women’s team and a thriving mini and junior section mean families can play, coach and support together, often across generations.
The club has produced internationals including England’s Jess Breach and Charlie Matthews and Scotland’s Kieran Low. Jess returned in 2018 to officially open the new Oaklands Pavilion.
In 2014 the 1st XV won promotion to National League 3, the highest level in the club’s history, and they remain a competitive force in regional rugby today.
Address: Oaklands Park, Wellington Road, Chichester PO19 6BB
Since September 2025 we’ve been the proud sponsor of Chichester College’s women’s football team, helping talented young players develop, compete at the highest level and represent their college and their city.
In only its second year, the college’s Female Football Academy went undefeated through the AoC Sport National Championship finals, beating Bristol Academy to take gold against sides with links to the Women’s Super League.
Set up in partnership with Chichester City Ladies, the academy gives girls a route from local youth teams through college football and on towards the senior game, alongside an excellent education.
College players coach girls’ teams in the local community, so the benefit of the programme reaches well beyond the first eleven.
"Diversity and inclusivity are always important."
