The AFC Bournemouth Community Mutual was established in December 2000 as a means for the fans to buy a bit of the Club, and eventually become the highest shareholding group.

The AFCB Community Mutual was established in December 2000 as a means for the fans to indirectly buy in to the Club. Although individuals may not be able to afford to buy direct in to the Football Club, as a collective we can raise a significant amount of money and buy a significant shareholding as a direct result. This means that the Community Mutual now has members who attend Board meetings on a regular basis.

The initial cost to join is £20, but to invest more, multiples of £250 is required up to a maximum of £5000 in the form of a 'loan'.

It should be noted that it is very unlikely that the loan will ever be repaid.

If multiples of £250 are beyond you, there is an easier way to invest, that being smaller amounts which eventually add up £250. Once £250 has been reached, the monies will be recognised and a loan note issued.

At the moment the AFCBCM has already invested £75,000 in the Football Club and has a membership of 1700 fans.
