As another season comes to a close, we reflect not just on the action on the pitch - but also on the impact we’ve made off it. While results may not have gone entirely to plan, our work within the community remains as strong as ever.

Mascots and Community Tickets

One of the best sights on a match day is Champion Hill filled with families—young and old—coming together to support their local football club. This season, we’ve handed out thousands of free tickets to local school groups, youth organisations, and charities.

We’ve also given over 300 children the opportunity to walk out with their heroes as match day mascots. This is always offered free of charge—because we believe experiences like these should be accessible to all.

As soon as the new fixtures are released, bookings for next season will open. Keep an eye on the club website and our social media for sign-up details. Spaces filled up fast last year, so we recommend acting quickly!

Easter Egg Appeal

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to our Easter Egg Appeal. In the lead-up to Easter, club officials and players from the Men’s Team visited The Albrighton Centre and King’s College Hospital, handing out over 250 Easter eggs to children in our community.

During our visit to the Albrighton Centre, we also spoke with volunteers running the food bank. They shared that demand has risen recently and they're always in need of donations. Right now, they’re especially looking for non-perishable food items such as tinned goods and pasta. You can donate directly to the centre or drop items at the club—we’ll make sure they’re delivered.

Charity Support

Throughout the season, we’ve raised awareness and funds for a number of local charities. Highlights include: Our Christmas Toy Drive for King’s College Hospital, The Easter Egg Appeal, The Children’s Cancer Trust and Team McLean, South Central Youth, Mental Health UK, and South East London Mind

A massive thank you to everyone who donated or got involved.

Football for All

Staying true to our ethos of inclusivity, we held our annual Her Game Too fixture and continued our support for Show Racism the Red Card. We're proud to share that our efforts were recognised nationally when we were awarded the Football v Homophobia “Semi-Professional Club of the Year” in March 2025.

Royal Engineers’ Festival of Football

A quick reminder that a Dulwich Hamlet XI—featuring players from the Men’s, Women’s, and Supporters’ teams—will be taking part in a charity match against the Royal Engineers on Saturday, 10th May 2025. Full details can be found in last week’s programme and on the club website and socials.
