club together bursary

everyone should get to play

At AFC Wimbledon Foundation, we believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive.

Thanks to generous donations from supporters and community members, our Club Together Bursary provides free access to sports sessions, holiday camps, coaching courses, and match tickets for children and young people who might otherwise miss out.

The bursary fund also supports local people to gain coaching or refereeing qualifications and allows families to attend men’s or women’s matches at Plough Lane.

Who can apply?

You can apply if you’re a parent, teacher, sports coach, or carer of a child or young person who would benefit from our programmes, and:

  • Cost is a barrier to attending

  • Your family is facing financial hardship

  • Your child would benefit from confidence-building, social connection, or physical activity

We welcome applications from families receiving benefits, low-income households, those in temporary accommodation, and others facing challenging circumstances.

*Teachers and sports coaches must have parental permission before applying.

your support transforms lives

Your support helps us change lives. Every pound raised gives hope to children growing up in difficult circumstances and to adults facing disadvantage and isolation across Southwest London. It means a safe space after school, someone to talk to, a coach who believes in them, and the chance to be part of something positive. You’re not just funding a programme - you’re helping someone feel seen, valued, and capable of more. With your help, we can break down barriers and open up brighter futures. Thank you for standing with us.
