The vote for the club's 2026 charity partner is now open.
We would like to thank supporters for sending in nominations for local charities and these will now be put to a fan's vote to determine our charity partners for 2026.
The nomination period is now closed and the voting period is now open for supporters to choose who will be the club's new charity partner.
Everyone at the club extends thanks to Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and LIVES, who have been the nominated charity partners as chosen by the fans over the past 12 months.
Throughout the season, the club will be committed to helping two of the adopted charities to assist with fundraising activities and events which are aimed to raise their profile in support of obtaining further local support.
In a change to this year, we will ensure one of the two selected charities are a 'small to medium sized' charity. This will be a local charity who have a turnover of less than £1million per year.
Examples of how City plan to support include but are not exclusive to, matchday bucket collections, player appearances and special fundraising events.
Due to the high volume of ongoing requests, the club unfortunately cannot support all local charities, however, will continue to support other charities via a monthly prize draw.
Charity partner process:
Stage 1 - Fans nominated local charities.
Stage 2 - Charities that receive a nomination will then be put to a formal fan vote between Thursday 18 December and Tuesday 30 December. Please note that this fan vote will be held online HERE.
**Please note that this fan vote will include polls via the club website. Supporters will also have the opportunity to vote at the ticket office and club shop by putting a slip in the charity box during these dates.**
Stage 3 - the charity with the highest total number of votes will be adopted as one of our charity partners for 2026. Should this not be a charity with a turnover of less than £1m then the charity with a turnover of less than £1m per annum who receive the next highest number of votes will be selected as the second charity partner.
