Based in Eastbourne, St. Wilfrid’s work hard to enable people in Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield and all the points in between to live well at the end of life.

Supporters can make donations to this worthy cause throughout this afternoon’s game with bucket collections outside the turnstiles, as well as photo opportunities with the mascot, Wilfie Bear!

“We’re proud to be supporting such a fantastic local charity,” said Eastbourne Borough CEO Alan Williams.

“The work St Wilfrid’s Hospice do in our local community is unlike any other, and we are excited to help them in any way possible.

“We look forward to hosting fundraising events in the future.”

Colin Twomey, CEO of St Wilfrid’s Hospice, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with Eastbourne Borough Football Club. 

“This collaboration brings together two organisations at the heart of our local community, both passionate about making a difference. 

“By working together, we can raise vital awareness and funds for the hospice, helping us continue to provide compassionate end of life care to people across Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.
