First of all, thanks to AFKA for allowing me to post this here.
I have a good friend/ former colleague who is one of the founders/directors of an organisation called “
Sporting Memories” - they do fantastic work to promote wellbeing and especially help people in the early stages of dementia by collating and sharing memories across all different sports. They have just got funding from the PFA for a specific pilot project with the Charlton Community Trust.
What's this got to do with you? Rather embarrassingly for us, they are a bit short of Charlton memories in their online resource at the moment! In fact, mine is the only one up there currently...
So would you have a few minutes to add your favourite memory? It doesn’t matter whether it is recent or old, does not need to be very long, could be a picture or just a few words. (You could even cut and paste one of your posts from a previous reminiscing thread on CL.) Please add it via this link - it is very simple to do so:
http://football.sportingmemories.org/memories/1-club/102-charlton-athletic/And if you know any Charlton/ sports fans who suffer from Alzheimers or any other kind of dementia, then please help them to make use of the resource and find out more about the work of Sporting Memories.
Many thanks in advance.

Do please add one of your own memories - I'm sure it will be entertaining!
I've got one about a group of Blackheath High girls.....................
Go on, just one (Charlton-related!) will do...
Many thanks.
