AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn said, "I am delighted that we are able to commit to supporting these amazing and unique charities.
"The work they undertake in the local community is invaluable to such a wide range of people, so it’s very important to us that we are able to help and use our Premier League exposure to support them.
"I hope that our support will continue to highlight the incredible work they do in our local community and we will be doing everything to help this season."
The Cherries will be providing all four charities with fundraising through selected club events, donating signed merchandise, supplying match tickets, providing player appearances and much more to increase the charities' presence in the local community.
