What is the Owls Foundation?

Launched in October 2003 we are extremely proud that the Owls Foundation has raised over £2 million to support the academy here at the Club, giving back over £900,000 to you the member in cash prizes and giving fans access to some truly memorable events and experiences.

All monies raised by the Owls Foundation (after prizes and costs) will be ring fenced for our academy and community charities!

The proportion of lottery proceeds returned to the purpose of the society for calendar year June 2025 to May 2026 was 68% with the minimum being 20%.

For just £2 per week, less than the price of a pint of beer you can play a role in building for our future and at the same time be in the running to win some truly staggering prizes and experiences.
