Certes IT and Tempo are proud to announce their sponsorship of RAF Netball, supported through the RAF Central Fund. The partnership backs a vibrant and inclusive sporting community that brings together the RAF community and reflects the values both businesses champion every day across the defence sector: commitment, resilience, teamwork and the power of working together.

With deep experience supporting defence organisations, we understand that strong teams are at the heart of every successful mission. RAF Netball demonstrates that same spirit on and off the court, creating opportunities for players, coaches and umpires to develop their skills, build confidence and contribute to a supportive network. This sponsorship celebrates shared purpose, performance and the collective energy that helps individuals and teams achieve their full potential.

The RAF Central Fund works to safeguard the health and wellbeing of serving RAF personnel by enabling access to sport and physical activity at every level. Its support helps ensure personnel can benefit from facilities, equipment, training and development opportunities, whether they are competing, learning, coaching or simply taking part for enjoyment, fitness and camaraderie.

Louise Shade, Marketing Manager at Certes IT, said: “This sponsorship was a no-brainer for us because of the values we share. We are incredibly proud to support RAF Netball and excited to get behind such an inspiring team. Their commitment, teamwork and determination reflect everything we believe makes organisations successful, both on and off the court.”

As proud advocates of the RAF Central Fund, Certes IT and Tempo are committed to helping ensure that everyone within the RAF, regardless of role, rank, physical ability or competing level, can access the sporting opportunities they need. Through this support, the Fund helps protect physical health, strengthen mental wellbeing and promote the sense of community that is so important across RAF life.

For Certes IT and Tempo, the sponsorship is more than a logo on a kit. It is a meaningful way to recognise the dedication of RAF personnel and to support a sport that encourages leadership, discipline, inclusion and personal growth. By standing behind RAF Netball, both organisations hope to help raise awareness of the role sport plays in building stronger, healthier and more connected teams.

We wish all the RAF Netball teams every success in the upcoming season.
