At Austin Hawk, we have always believed that being a successful local business comes with a responsibility to support the community that supports us.
As an independent estate agent based in Andover, our team lives, works, and raises families locally. We are passionate about helping people move home, but we are equally passionate about helping local clubs, organisations, schools, and events continue to thrive.
Throughout 2026, we have proudly supported a number of fantastic community initiatives across Andover and the surrounding villages.
Supporting Andover New Street Football Club
One organisation particularly close to our hearts is Andover New Street Football Club.
Like many grassroots football clubs, New Street relies heavily on sponsorship and support from local businesses to help cover the costs of facilities, equipment, coaching, and maintaining opportunities for players of all ages.
For Austin Hawk Director Dean Austin, the club holds special significance. Dean played for Andover New Street many years ago, spent time as a youth coach helping develop the next generation of players, and even worked behind the bar at the club.
His roots and loyalty certainly lie with New Street, making our continued support of the club something we are incredibly proud of.
Grassroots football provides young people with opportunities, teaches teamwork and discipline, and creates lifelong friendships. Supporting clubs like New Street helps ensure those opportunities continue for future generations.
Supporting Local Schools and Community Events
This year we have also been delighted to support:
Picket Piece School Summer Fete
School fetes are at the heart of local communities, bringing together families, teachers, and children while raising valuable funds for schools. We were proud to contribute to an event that helps create lasting memories for local families.
Andover Carnival
The Andover Carnival is one of the town’s most recognised annual events and a fantastic celebration of local community spirit. Bringing together local organisations, businesses, charities and residents, the carnival creates a real sense of pride in our town. We are proud to support an event that showcases everything that is great about Andover and helps bring the community together.
Andover Soapbox Derby
The Andover Soapbox Derby has become one of the town’s most exciting community events. It showcases creativity, teamwork, and plenty of local spirit while bringing thousands of people together for a fantastic day of entertainment.
Longparish Fete
Village fetes remain an important tradition across Hampshire. Longparish Fete provides a wonderful opportunity for local residents and visitors to come together while supporting local causes and community projects.
Anna Valley May Bank Holiday Summer Fayre
Community events such as the Anna Valley Summer Fayre are a fantastic way to bring neighbours together, support local groups, and celebrate everything that makes village life special.
Why Community Support Matters
The success of any local business is built on the people who choose to support it.
That’s why we believe it is important to give something back whenever we can.
Whether through sponsorship, donations, advertising support, raffle prizes, or helping local organisations raise awareness, we see community involvement as an investment in the place we call home.
These clubs, schools, charities, and community groups work tirelessly behind the scenes, often relying on volunteers and fundraising to continue their valuable work. By supporting them, we help strengthen the community that makes Andover such a fantastic place to live and work.
Looking Ahead
Community support has always been part of Austin Hawk’s values and will continue to be for many years to come.
We would like to thank all the volunteers, organisers, teachers, coaches, and committee members who dedicate their time to making these events and organisations a success.
We are proud to play a small part in helping them continue their excellent work and look forward to supporting even more local initiatives in the future.
From everyone at Austin Hawk, thank you for supporting local businesses and helping us continue to support our local community.
