Visually Impaired Fan - Can you help?

Henry Irving

Been asked to pass this on in the hope of finding a person or people who can help.

Please contact Andreas at the Mobility Team direct but let us know if a solution has been found.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Charlton Athletic,

Wondering if you would be the right person to contact or know of the individual we could contact to see if there is a club supporter living in the Wandsworth area who would be able to travel to home football matches with a visually impaired client to the stadium on a regular basis over the winter months? The client in question has a friend that goes in the stadium with the client and helps the client with commentary once at the stadium.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need any more information regarding the enquiry.

Kind regards, Andreas

Surely the free "helper/carer" season ticket accompanying the disabled season ticket would help with the travel if there's someone in that part? The Council should assess and fund the expenses via Direct Payment scheme too?

Henry Irving

I don't know the answer to that but can you suggest that to the mobility team member as it isn't an area I know anything about.

Thanks

Henry Irving

bump if anyone can help

Henry Irving

The fan still hasn't found someone to help them travel to games.

If there is anyone on here or someone you know that might be able to help a visually impaired fellow fan.

Please contact Andreas.Christodoulou@guidedogs.org.uk direct

Could anyone reading this spread the word via any other networks/sites/facebook/twitter/supporters groups etc that they use that they use.

C'mon, lets make it happen

I would be happy to do it as a one off if needed but realistically Wandsworth is too far away from me to do regularly. Assuming he would need company going home afterwards?

Henry Irving

Thanks GNelson

could you contact the mobility team and let them know. Sure a one off is better then nothing.

GNelson

Yep, will do.

Shared on Charlton Live Twitter account, fingers crossed. I'll mention on the show too.

Henry Irving

Cheers Louis,

The wider we spread the net the more chance of finding one or more people to help.

Can't the trusts network of 5,000 help?

Don't see why not. @rikofold?

Addickforlife

Live over that way, but unfortunately don't go enough these days to help.

Hope you find someone to help

It's probably one for @Pico but leave it with me and I'll see how we can help.
