Having spoken to Carl Krauhaus who managers the Upbeats programme we have agreed that we'll aim to raise money for a new set of kits.
The Upbeats are currently wearing Macron kit and a number of new members have joined so there is a real need. The Upbeats will be buying kit alongside the Trust as they can get a bulk discount but they don't get them for free so any money we can raise will be a big help. And just like most kids the Upbeats want to be wearing the up-to-date kit.
A lot of you have been very generous in the way you have supported the Auctions and we've already raised over £400 that way with more auctions to come.
But some people, prompted by the "1000 - 1for play-off " thread
http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/54656/1000-1-for-playoffs have asked if they can make a direct contribution.
If you want to add a few ££ to the fund then the easiest way to to it is to:
Bank of Scotland
Sort code 12-01-03
Acc no. 06085604
That is a general CACT account so we need to track payments and inform Rob Wood (their finance officer) to make sure the money goes to the Upbeats and not into a general fund.
Can you put "CL Ups your user name" in the reference so they can track it.
We all know times are hard so if people don't have any spare cash or prefer other worthy causes that is all fine.

They meet and train weekly and play in Tournaments, very sucessfully, v other DS teams.
As well as the football the project helps them socialise and helps their parents.
Others know more than me or can put up links, please
Its something we spoke about last time, but I've had no response from email attempts.
..make me pay
Got talking to a woman in Asda a couple of weeks ago who was with her son (who had DS and was wearing a charlton shirt). Was surprised she didn't know anything about the upbeats, yet they're season ticket holders........
Calydon, waiting for them to get back to me

Yes, new, next season kit.
With Peanuts assistance a lot of people have done pretty well over the last few years.
A small percentage of any winnings contributed would go quite a way syupporting a worthwhile cause.
Good work Henry.
