MK Dons Extend Partnership with Pathlines to Enhance Girls’ Football Pathway

MK Dons are proud to announce the extension of their long-standing partnership with Pathlines, a trusted club sponsor for over a decade and a champion of community-driven initiatives.

Pathlines Pensions, a specialist provider of defined contribution (DC) pension solutions, has reaffirmed its commitment to the Club by expanding its sponsorship for the 2025/26 season with a particular focus on empowering the next generation of female footballers.

As part of the renewed agreement, the Pathlines logo will appear for the first time on the back of shirts worn by the MK Dons Girls Pathway Team a major milestone in the partnership. Delivered by the MK Dons Sport & Education Trust, the Girls Pathway features 12 teams from Under-8s to Under-16s and plays a vital role in developing local talent and encouraging inclusivity through sport.

Christine Hallett, CEO of Pathlines, expressed her pride in deepening this relationship: “It’s an honour to continue supporting MK Dons—an organisation that reflects so many of our own values at Pathlines. We’re particularly proud to be backing the Girls Pathway, helping create more opportunities for young women in sport while strengthening our ties to the community.”

The expanded partnership not only reinforces Pathlines’ support for grassroots football but also highlights the company’s wider mission: helping people move forward with their pensions, their futures, and their communities.

This renewed collaboration marks an exciting chapter for both organisations built on purpose, progress, and a shared vision of inclusive success.

CEO at MK Dons, Neil Hart said

 “On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Pathlines for their continued and invaluable support. Their genuine commitment to the success of the team, our supporters, and the wider Milton Keynes community reflects values we proudly share. We are truly appreciative of their partnership, and look forward to strengthening our relationship further throughout the 2025/26 season and beyond.”

MK Dons Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Davies added

 “We are delighted to officially announce Pathlines as a Club Partner for the 2025/26 season. Their commitment to supporting our Football Club is deeply appreciated, and we extend our sincere gratitude to Christine and the entire Pathlines team for their continued dedication and partnership. Continued collaborations such as this play a vital role in the ongoing development and success of our club, and as we head in to the start of the season we are really proud of the business community we are building here. 2025/26 season is going to be something special for everyone involved.”
