Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) are delighted to enter into a partnership with All Saints Parish Church, Blackheath, as their chosen charity of the year.
CACT have been chosen by the church to be the focus of all their fundraising activities throughout 2024/25, providing vital support for the Trust to continue to deliver impactful work across the community.
As well as a number of fundraising events hosted by All Saints throughout the year, CACT will have a presence within the church, which stands in an iconic position on Blackheath Common, in the form of collection buckets, inviting visitors to make donations.
CACT Head of Fundraising, Chris Baker, said: “CACT has been working within the communities of south-east London for over thirty years, so we are delighted to be partnering with another organisation that is so embedded within the local community.
“All Saints’ support will make such a difference to CACT and allow us to reach more individuals with our projects that engage young people, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and improve social cohesion.”
Meanwhile, Father Nicholas Cranfield, Vicar at All Saints, added: “I am incredibly pleased that we selected Charlton Athletic Community Trust as our parish charity for 2024/2025.
"I have heard about the vital work the trust does in the community and look forward to hearing more about their work as the year progresses. We have some exciting fundraising events planned throughout the year at which I hope we are able to raise significant funds to keep this important work going.
"All Saints' dates back to 1857; Charlton Athletic to 1905 and CACT to 1992. Together we can make a difference in our community,”
