Brighton & Hove Albion’s Albion As One charity fund has kicked off with a staggering donation of £263,939 (€302,350) from the club’s players and directors - and now staff, partners and fans, who are in a position to do so, are being invited to add their support to the fund which will boost a number of charities across the county," announced the club on 28/04/2020.

"The club’s players and staff have selected a number of organisations based in Sussex, including charities for hospices, sick children, domestic abuse victims, bereavement care, foodbanks, homeless support and health workers - who will all benefit from the fund - alongside a contribution of approximately 20% to Albion in the Community, said Brighton & Hove Albion.

"Albion’s first-team squad made the collective gesture by donating a significant portion of their April wages - with the players’ initial amount further boosted by a donation from Tony Bloom and his fellow directors," added the club.
