At Alex & Matteo Estate Agents, community is at the heart of everything we do. As a proudly local agency serving Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Canada Water, Surrey Quays, and the wider SE16 area, we know that strong communities are built on shared values, teamwork, and connection.
That’s why we’re delighted to sponsor The Squad Volleyball Club, a growing local team whose energy, inclusivity, and spirit perfectly reflect the values we believe in.
Sponsoring The Squad Volleyball Club
Selling and letting homes isn’t just about property, it’s about people.
When we first connected with The Squad Volleyball Club, we saw more than just a group of talented players. We saw a passionate team bringing together residents from across SE16, creating friendships and opportunities through sport.
Volleyball might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of London life, but this club has built something truly special in the heart of Rotherhithe.
From evening matches at local venues to youth sessions encouraging new players, The Squad embodies the sense of togetherness that makes this part of London so unique.
Founded by a group of local sports enthusiasts, The Squad Volleyball Club has quickly become one of the most exciting community sports initiatives in South East London.
The club welcomes players of all skill levels, from experienced competitors to complete beginners, and it’s grown steadily thanks to the dedication of volunteers and coaches who give their time to make it all possible.
Their mission goes far beyond competition. The Squad is about:
It’s this grassroots energy and community focus that made the partnership such a natural fit for Alex & Matteo.
At Alex & Matteo, we’re more than estate agents we’re part of the community we serve.
Supporting local groups like The Squad Volleyball Club is our way of giving back to the neighbourhoods that have supported us over the years.
Here’s why this partnership matters to us:
We’re proud to help The Squad access the resources they need to continue growing. Whether that means new kits, equipment, or helping to promote their events, our sponsorship is about empowering local success.
Community sport encourages people of all ages to stay active, social, and connected. Volleyball brings together teamwork, fitness, and fun. Values that contribute to a happier, healthier SE16.
Rotherhithe, Bermondsey, and Canada Water are vibrant areas with diverse residents. Local initiatives like The Squad bring people together and create a shared sense of pride in our neighbourhood.
Our goal has always been to connect with residents beyond the property market. Sponsoring local sports clubs helps us reach out, build genuine relationships, and support the things that make SE16 such a special place to live.
Our dedication to community well-being extends beyond The Squad Volleyball Club. We’re proud to support a range of local projects that make SE16 a better place to live.
Redriff Primary School
In recent years, we’ve had the privilege of sponsoring Redriff Primary School, a partnership that helps us support the next generation of SE16 residents.
Through our sponsorship, we’ve contributed to the school’s sports and enrichment programmes, helping pupils develop teamwork, confidence, and ambition, both in the classroom and beyond.
As we wrote in our previous blog, “Supporting Future Champions at Redriff Primary School”, this initiative is about inspiring young people to achieve their goals and reminding them that their local community believes in them every step of the way.
The PNK Garden Project
In 2024, we also partnered with the PNK Garden initiative, a local project focused on maintaining and enhancing green spaces across SE1 and SE16.
These community gardens provide residents with tranquil spots to relax, socialise, and connect with nature amidst the busy rhythm of urban life.
By supporting the PNK Garden project, we’ve helped create a greener, healthier environment for everyone in our community. As estate agents, we understand that vibrant neighbourhoods aren’t just about beautiful homes, they’re also about the open spaces that bring people together.
Together with these partnerships, our sponsorship of The Squad Volleyball Club represents our ongoing mission to give back to the community that gives us so much.
Community sponsorships are about more than logos or visibility, they’re about building lasting relationships that benefit everyone.
Our partnership with The Squad, Redriff Primary School, and the PNK Garden initiative means more opportunities for residents to engage, connect, and enjoy the best of what SE16 has to offer.
In the coming months, we’ll continue to:
At Alex & Matteo, we believe being a local estate agency means more than selling homes, it means being visible, approachable, and involved in the day-to-day life of our neighbourhood.
Our team live and work here too, so supporting the people and projects that make SE16 vibrant, diverse, and welcoming is something we take personally.
If you’re a resident in Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, or Canada Water, we’d love for you to get involved.
Whether it’s cheering on The Squad at a match, visiting the PNK Garden, or attending an event at Redriff Primary School, your support makes a real difference.
And if you’re thinking about selling, buying, or renting in the area, our team would be delighted to help. We combine local expertise with genuine passion for the neighbourhood, the same commitment we bring to everything we do.
At Alex & Matteo, we know that strong communities are built one relationship at a time.
By supporting The Squad Volleyball Club, Redriff Primary School, and the PNK Garden Project, we’re proud to play our part in keeping SE16 connected, active, and full of local pride.
Because just like a good volleyball team, great communities rely on teamwork, communication, and shared goals, and we’ll always be here to serve and celebrate ours.
