The Matchroom Charitable Foundation was created to centralise the benevolent efforts of Matchroom Sport, the global sports promotion company headed by Eddie Hearn, and its subsidiaries – the Professional Darts Corporation, Matchroom Boxing, World Snooker and Matchroom MultiSport.
For over 30 years, Matchroom Sport has donated millions of pounds to a wide-range of charities throughout its many sporting activities, including sports and community charities, and a number of hospices for both children and adults.
Matchroom now promotes in excess of 200 event days per year in the UK, selling over 400,000 tickets in the process. Part of the Foundation’s funding comes from a contribution equivalent to £1 for every ticket sold for these events. The Matchroom Charitable Foundation aims to channel these monies to create a significant and sustainable impact on deserving causes which make a difference to people’s lives.
The Matchroom Charitable Foundation is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Coach Core Foundation to fund 10 apprenticeship roles for young people across the UK through its new 'Undercard' project.
The grant from the Matchroom Charitable Foundation allowed New Hope to completely refurbish one of their two pool tables with new cloth, new cushions and a general overhaul alongside organising a pool tournament for people recovering from homelessness.
Matchroom Charitable Foundation are delighted to support Haven House with an annual £50,000 donation for the next three years.
