He said: “Firstly, I wanted more people to get behind the club and be involved.

“The only way I thought this could be achieved would be to modernise the clubs image and reach out to the community.

“With the support of Luke Taylor and the team at UnitedUs we gave the club a professional level re-brand.

“Everything from logo, brand image, and social media, everything looks and feels new. UnitedUs working with PUMA have created a new beautiful bespoke kit, which in my opinion is easily the best looking kit in non-league football.”

The club have also had support from local businesses to help them prosper and they are looking to give back to the community.

Webster said: “We’re very lucky to have some very generous businesses supporting us, including First Team and Under 23’s sponsor PRW Brickwork Contractors, who’s sponsorship have allowed us to really step things up!

“We’ve worked so hard on building a ‘One Club’ brand and we are giving back to the community as much as we can. With the help of Jason Burrill (now a committee member) we hosted a charity football tournament which raised £2,400 for 4 causes including Seaford based charity WOLO.

“We collected more thaan 100 toys from the club and community in our Christmas Toy Drive which we donated to the Royal Alexander Childrens Hospital.

“We are also working on launching a Community Discount Card which will give cardholders discounts of up to 50% at over 20 Seaford businesses. This will become more important when we return to some form of normality post COVID.”

Webster’s second and third targets tied together. He said: “ I wanted to increase the clubs revenues so we could reinvest to improve our facilities for our youth sides and senior sides.
