Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) are delighted to confirm 10 Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player Ambassadors from the men’s first-team for the 2024/25 season. PFA player ambassadors support CACT’s work with more than 25,000 participants annually across its 65+ programmes in South East London and Kent.
The club’s first team players and staff have already supported CACT’s work this season through attending a number of events in recent weeks, including the CACT Awards, a visit to the Royal Greenwich Trust School and October Holiday Courses.
These appointments align with the 2024 EFL Week of Action, a campaign which spotlights the positive impact that football clubs have within their communities, and reinforces CACT’s dedication to helping individuals improve their lives.
Charlton Athletic club captain Greg Docherty will serve as Mental Health and Wellbeing Ambassador. CACT’s mental health programmes such as the Kent Wellbeing Activity Project were spotlighted last month to mark World Mental Health Day.
Summer signings Alex Mitchell and Matty Godden will take on the roles of Girls/Women’s Football Ambassador and Health Ambassador respectively.
Goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer will continue in his role of being Education Ambassador. Last season, Maynard-Brewer picked up the PFA Community Champion award which recognised his engagement with CACT’s award-winning programmes throughout the 23/24 campaign.
Conor Coventry will serve as Charities Ambassador and Lloyd Jones will be Young Offenders Ambassador.
Terry Taylor, who was the Disability Ambassador last season, will now serve as Social Inclusion Ambassador this season. Taking on the Disability Ambassador position held by Taylor last season will be Rarmani Edmonds-Green. Defender Edmonds-Green will support CACT’s disability programmes such as Charlton Upbeats and Ability Counts.
Forward Chuks Aneke will take on the role of Kick it Out/Show Racism the Red Card Ambassador. Luke Berry will serve as the Sports Participation/Premier League Kicks Ambassador. CACT’s Premier League Kicks programme uses the power of sport to engage and inspire young people aged between 8 to 18 years of age.
Meanwhile, Charlton Women's PFA Player Ambassadors will be announced in due course.
