AFC Bournemouth's popular half-time Cherries Community Draw gives supporters the chance to win cash prizes while helping the local community through the Cherries Community Fund.
At each home game, supporters can purchase tickets, priced at £1, to go into the draw. The more tickets you buy, the more chance you have of winning, with all proceeds going directly into the Cherries Community Fund.
The Fund, set up by the club, has provided financial assistance to projects that help to develop young people and vulnerable groups, or those that promote sport and a healthy lifestyle in the area of Dorset.
The Fund will be financed from the proceeds of the popular Cherries Community Draw and any other donations the club receives.
Groups can put in applications for up to £1,000 worth of funding, which will then be judged by a two-man panel, comprising of AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn and head of AFC Bournemouth’s Community Sports Trust Steve Cuss..
The panel meet quarterly throughout the year and panels are scheduled in March, June, September and December.
Since 2016, the Cherries Community Fund has donated a huge £137,943.80 back into the local community.
As a consequence of the current COVID-19 situation, we are unable to consider any further CCF applications until the club resumes its normal activities.
We sincerely hope that all applicants understand the position, and we assure you we will start to process applications once again at the earliest opportunity.
Keep Safe, Stay Healthy, we look forward to returning to normality, and continuing our support in the community.
The club has chosen to donate funding from the Cherries Community Fund to five local hospices as they are a sector very much in the news at the moment, dealing with the most challenging and unprecedented times due to COVID-19.
As the CCF cannot run as normal at the moment the panel wanted to ensure existing funds could be put to good use. The hospices that have received a donation from us are Lewis-Manning Hospice, Macmillan Caring Locally, Naomi’s House/Jack’s Place, Forest Holme Hospice and Julia’s House.
