The Jamie G Sporting Trust

Thank you Love Andover for your continued love & support

PEOPLE OF ANDOVER 💛
Meet Tommy Gentleman.

“I’m Tommy Gentleman — a local business owner and Chairman of the Jamie G Sporting Trust.”

If you’ve been involved in grassroots sport in Andover, chances are you’ve crossed paths with Tommy.

Player.
Coach.
Supporter.

And someone deeply passionate about giving others the same opportunities.
“Grassroots sport means everything. It’s where it all starts.”

Through the Jamie G Sporting Trust, a charity set up in his brother Jamie's memory, Tommy helps provide grants to local clubs — supporting young people with equipment, facilities, and opportunities they might not otherwise have.

But his impact doesn’t stop there.

He’s also on a mission to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young — helping fund free heart screening for young people.

“All through a project called 156 Kicks.”

Because for Tommy, it’s about protecting the next generation as much as supporting them.

And at the passion for it all?

Andover.

“What I love about this town is that we know how to lift each other up.”
In the tough moments…
And in the good ones too.
“We come together when times are hard, but we also celebrate each other’s wins.”

Having seen the town evolve over the past 20 years, Tommy’s proud of what Andover has become — and what it continues to be.
“A growing community, with new people coming in and embracing it as their own.”
From the pitch… to the community… to charity.

That’s People of Andover. 💛

— Tommy Gentleman
