KIMS Hospital is delighted to continue its Healthcare Services and Wellbeing Partnership with Folkestone Invicta FC for the 2026/27 season, as the club begins its first season competing in the National League South.
The new season marks an exciting milestone for Folkestone Invicta, with the club stepping onto the national stage for the first time. Alongside supporting the first team, the club remains committed to developing the next generation of players through its Academy and youth teams.
As part of the continued partnership, KIMS Hospital will support Folkestone Invicta across the club, from the first team through to its Academy and youth players, with a focus on health, wellbeing and access to healthcare expertise.
A key part of the partnership this season saw Folkestone Invicta arrange ECG screening for its Academy and youth players at the beginning of the season. The initiative represents a significant step for the club and reflects its commitment to the health and wellbeing of its young players.
ECG screening records the electrical activity of the heart and can help clinicians identify certain heart conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed. The screening will provide an additional opportunity for players to have their heart health assessed as they begin the new season.
For KIMS Hospital, supporting the Academy and youth teams is an important part of the partnership. The relationship provides an opportunity to work with players at every stage of their football journey, while helping the club put the health and wellbeing of its players at the centre of its ambitions.
Emma Santer, Partnerships Manager at KIMS Hospital said:
“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Folkestone Invicta at such an exciting time for the club. Reaching the National League South for the first time is a fantastic achievement, and we are pleased to be able to support the club as it takes this next step.
What makes this partnership particularly important to us is that it extends beyond the first team. Folkestone Invicta is supporting its Academy; youth players and fans and we are proud to support that commitment.”
Josh Healey, Chairman of Folkestone Invicta said:
“We are delighted to continue our partnership with KIMS Hospital as we begin what promises to be a very exciting season for Folkestone Invicta.
Reaching the National League South is a huge moment for the club, but our ambitions go beyond the first team. Our Academy and youth teams are an important part of our future and ensuring that the health and wellbeing of our young players is given the attention it deserves is a key priority.
Working with KIMS Hospital allows us to take an important step forward in this area. Introducing ECG screening for our Academy and youth players at the beginning of the season is something we are particularly pleased to be able to offer.”
