Walker & Co Financial Planning are proud to sponsor local athletes whose dedication, resilience and teamwork are second to none! Take a look at our remarkable young people from the Dorset sports community:

Our sponsored athletes

Liane Folkenstern

Attacking Midfielder | Bournemouth Sports Ladies FC

Competing in Tier 4 of the Women's National Football League, Liane enjoyed an outstanding 2025/26 season, finishing as the club's Silver Boot winner for the most assists. We're delighted to continue supporting her as she builds on another successful campaign.

Hollie Shaw

Central Midfielder | Bournemouth Sports Ladies FC

Returning following an ACL injury which put her on the sidelines for the 2025/26 season, Hollie is hoping to pick up where she left off in Tier 4 of the Women’s National Football league, alongside Liane in the middle of the park, giving her a run for her money for the Silver Boot!

Ewan Dent

Defender | Bere Regis FC

Ewan joins our sponsorship programme for the 2026/27 season and begins his campaign in August. We look forward to following his progress throughout the year.

Kaitlyn Phillips

Swanage & Wareham RFC

Kaitlyn joins Walker & Co as we expand our support for grassroots sport. With pre-season already underway ahead of the new rugby calendar, we're excited to support her throughout the 2026/27 season.

Why grassroots sport?

Grassroots clubs are at the heart of our local communities. They bring people together, inspire the next generation and create opportunities for individuals to develop both on and off the field.

The qualities that help athletes succeed – preparation, resilience, teamwork and consistency – are the same qualities that underpin good financial planning.

We're proud to play a small part in supporting local talent and look forward to celebrating our sponsored athletes' achievements throughout the season.

Let’s see what's possible.
