A MESSAGE FROM THE CHARLTON UPBEATS & COMM TRUST

To everyone,

In light of our good news live on Friday’s ITV’s London Tonight programme that the Charlton Upbeats were successful in the quest for funding from the people’s millions competition, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for you efforts in spreading the word and getting so many people to vote for this programme.

Charlton life members and their contacts played a massive part in this success. Your votes and determination to promote the quest were much appriciated by all the young people on the CHARLTON UPBEATS project, their families and everyone at the CHARLTON ATHLETIC COMMUNITY TRUST. On Thursday (voting day) there was a massive movement of people generating votes and promoting the project to all areas of the country. It was great to be part of and shows the power of people and we would like to thank you again. I would like to give a special mention to the organisers of Charlton Life for getting it up and running on C/L

We have not been given the voting numbers as yet but are told by ITV that we were clear winners. The amount secured on Friday for the project was 37,800 pounds and the hard work begins in Jan 2010 to use this funding to develop the project. For those of you who saw the live programme on Friday night you will have seen the positive effect winning had on the young people on the project. Knowing that this project received such recognition gave the young people and their parents a massive lift and they now feel that the need for activity based programmes specifically for people with Downs syndrome is now being addressed. They all hope that other organizations now follow suit. Thanks again for your co-operation. The young people and their families also genuinely passed on the thanks on Friday.

Please forward this message onto your contacts who helped us be successful on Friday!!!
