£22k raised via bucket collections at Wrexham AFC last season

Registered charities are encouraged to apply for a match-day bucket collection at the STōK Cae Ras, as Wrexham AFC “look forward to supporting more good causes through the 2024/25 season”

The update comes as they have also revealed in total, 22 charities benefitted from a bucket collection in the 2023/24 season, raising a collective total of £22,308.02.

The club said, “Once again next season, each home match will have one dedicated bucket collection, and we hope to cover a broad range of charity organisations, which is why we ask all charities wishing to be considered for a collection to get in touch.

“We would like to thank all Wrexham AFC supporters who have given generously over the years to these bucket collections.

“Any charity organisation interested in hosting a bucket collection for the 2024/25 season can apply by completing this form, including your charity name and charity number, and a brief 200-word description of what your charity does and how you would benefit from a collection.”

They add, “Please note, any requests not fulfilling this brief cannot be considered for a bucket collection. All requests must be submitted by 10am on Friday, July 12. All valid requests will be collated by the Wrexham AFC in conjunction with the Club’s charity, the Wrexham AFC Community Trust.

The club say collections will be allocated to ensure a fair spread between types of charities and where they are located – with a focus on those operating within our local community, and directly impacting Wrexham AFC supporters.

“All applicants must have a charity number, and we ask any previous beneficiaries to follow the same process, in the interest of providing fair opportunity to all applicants”.
