Is that because we make everyone in the coca-cola championship communityfeel so good about themselves when they come to the valley? They always go away with a big satisfied smile on their face!

LOL but you just know there will be the usual people being serious and getting seriously annoyed along just these lines.
If it was all about supporting a winning team most of us would be supporting another team. We are all Charlton for a lot more than the results. I am proud to be Charlton regardless of results. Congratulations to those that make our club more than just a football team.

Very true indeed. Trust and club are seperate entities though as far as I'm aware.
Charlton Athletic has been named the Coca-Cola Community Club of the Year at The Football League Awards 2013.
Mark Leckie, Head of Youth & Social Inclusion of Charlton Athletic collected the award at the gala ceremony at The Brewery, London, on Sunday evening in front of over 600 guests from clubs, sponsors and the football industry. This year there were a total of 17 awards with 34 shortlisted for honours.
Charlton Athletic celebrated 20 years of community work in August 2012 and they celebrated the milestone with 10,000 children registering for their activities every week.

The regional South East winner, Charlton beat competition from other regional winners, Cardiff City, Derby County, Huddersfield Town and Tranmere Rovers, to claim the overall Award.
On winning the award, Mark Leckie, Head of Youth and Social Inclusion, said: "Running the council's youth service provision has been a real challenge but extremely rewarding. It has enabled us to engage with our community and deliver a wide range of programmes.
"It is a new and different way of working for us but the challenge has been the driver. Charlton is a special club and this is special work that we are doing."
In deciding on a winner judges considered the objectives of the scheme, breadth of delivery, innovation, impact and achievements in 2012, alongside each scheme's flagship project.
Greg Clarke, Chairman of The Football League, said: "The Football League Awards 2013 has given us another opportunity to celebrate success at League clubs both on and off the pitch. It gives us the chance to reward those who have achieved fantastic results throughout the year. I would like to congratulate tonight's winners and all those who were nominated."
