Exeter Chiefs: match-day collections 2024/25
Charities based in the Exeter area can apply to the Exeter Chiefs Foundation to become a designated beneficiary of the official Exeter Chiefs match-day collections for the 2024/25 season.
Successful applicants will become beneficiaries of the official match-day collections and raise the profile of their charity by having their volunteers collecting on match days: each designated charity will be expected to gather 30 volunteers to aid with bucket collection for a specific match day which they will be allocated. All volunteers must be comfortable with working within a crowded and sometimes noisy environment on a match day at Sandy Park Stadium.
Application deadline: 3 June 2024
