Apply now for CCF March panel 

Submit an application for the Cherries Community Fund by early next week to be in time to receive funding as part of our March donations. 

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.

It is 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 £2,500 worth of funding, which will then be judged by a four-person panel, comprising of three appointed AFC Bournemouth staff members and a player ambassador. 

With the panel set to meet mid-next week, you still have the opportunity to get a donation for a local charitable cause. 

The panel meet quarterly throughout the year and panels are scheduled in June, September and December following next week's meeting. 

Since 2016, the Cherries Community Fund has donated a huge £235,808 back into the local community.
