Excellent news, and more than well deserved to him and the excellent work that the community trust does. Good to see something up on the club site as well, sometimes the club do not celebrate there excellent community work that they do. Top bloke Jason.
I remember when Jason started with us. He met a supporters group at the Meridian, at the time he was funded for one year I believe by the PFA. All he had then was a bag of footballs, but nous, vision and enthusiasm. He told us that he hoped his community work would be somewhat self funding after the initial year. My son and many others have enjoyed the school holiday football courses which provided the initial credible platform for the expansion of the community scheme. Jason has always been absolutely approachable and helpful, I remember him once bringing along Mark Robson to a training session of young footballers I had organised. From what I now see the community scheme has gone from strength to strength, the fantastic upbeats day being a recent manifestation. I always thought that our own Keith Peacock would get a gong, I reckon Chris Powell might get one, one day. However I reckon Jason is an unsung hero and a gem at our club, he would certainly acknowledge the help he has had from others both paid and unpaid, but I remember the young man who pitched up to the club in those early days, and totally respect how far he has come. Very well deserved. many congratulations Jason.
This. Yet the bbc reporting Andy Murray and David Beckham being "overlooked" for knighthoods...
From what I've read Jason Morgan started the Community programme on his own from scratch and under his stewardship it has grown into the fine organisation it is today.
It's good to see someone who has done so much at the grass roots gain some recognition.
I don't know you Jason but if you do ever read this well done mate!
Congrats to Jason and everyone else who made it all possible.
It's good that the Trust no longer gets the negative comments it used to such as "why don't we spend the money on a striker" (different budget and nothing to do with the club) or worse. I think that is because over time it has kept on telling people what it does and how it helps a wide range of people in SE London and Kent and beyond.
