AFC Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth were pleased to welcome the recent recipients of donations to Vitality Stadium on Thursday 18th August for their large cheque presentation photo.
The popular half-time Cherries Community Draw gives supporters the chance to win cash prizes while helping the local community through the Cherries Community Fund.
The Cherries Community Fund now welcomes applications for donations which will continue across the year, with several worthy causes benefiting from the fund since it started in January 2016. A total of £173,257.80 has been given to worthy causes since the fund started!
The money raised for the fund comes from the matchday draw tickets sold at Vitality Stadium. It has helped a wide variety of projects in the local area, including several football clubs who have purchased kit and equipment, local schools purchasing specialist equipment, a variety of community projects, including street safety, and helping adults with learning difficulties. It has also helped sustain various support groups and helping the homeless across Bournemouth.
The excellent work and charitable donations will continue throughout the 2022/23 campaign as the panel will meet quarterly in 2022 and panels are scheduled in March, June, September, and December to distribute more funds back into the local community.

The next panel meeting will be in September 2022, so applications received by the end of August will be reviewed. Applications are still welcomed after this date for the subsequent panel meetings.
