American Express

Working in partnership

Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation and American Express have been working together for more than ten years to support the local needs of the community.

American Express opened its first office in Brighton in 1968 and has had a close relationship with the local area ever since.

As the main club sponsor of Brighton & Hove Albion, American Express has an active partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation as a natural extension of the company’s involvement with the Albion.

By providing crucial funding as well as colleague volunteering time, American Express work with us to deliver a wide range of inclusive community initiatives aimed at building essential skills, confidence and aspirations amongst children, young people and adults in Sussex.

Together we work in schools and community settings bringing the expertise, knowledge and skills of both organisations into educational workshops and sporting events for the benefit of local people.

Over the past ten years our partnership has made a huge difference with 15,000 beneficiaries supported in over 300 activity sessions jointly delivered between Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation and 30,000 volunteers hours provided by Amex.
