Chief executive Paul Barber commented, “This is something we introduced last season, and our inaugural charity partners alongside Albion in the Community were Worthing-based children’s hospice Chestnut Tree House and the national charity Missing People.
“Both charities benefitted from additional exposure to the Sussex public and in particular our fan base, and were able to use that to raise vital funds for two very worthy causes.
“It’s been a pleasure working with both organisations, being able to support the vital work they do on a day-to-day basis and seeing what they do on a much closer level.
“For next season the club will select two new charities, and then work with them across the season, to help raise awareness of their work among our fan base and to collect vital funds.
“We also will continue to work with those charities with whom the club already has a history and a link to, including the Royal British Legion with regard to the Poppy Appeal, Children in Need, Sport Relief, Kick it Out; and local charities like the Sussex Heart Charity, Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance and the Argus Appeal.
“Alongside our support for these charities, we will continue to support the brilliant work of our charitable arm Albion in the Community – and the charities with whom they work closely."
