Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s (CACT) annual Upbeats Walk fundraising event returns on Saturday April 20th ahead of Charlton Athletic’s final home game of the season against Shrewsbury Town.

A group of Charlton fans and CACT supporters will be walking a nine-mile route from Charlton Athletic’s Training Ground in New Eltham to The Valley, all in aid of the Charlton Upbeats programme, and you can join them!

The Charlton Upbeats offers children and adults with Down’s syndrome the opportunity to play football in a safe and welcoming environment and has been running for 15 years now. The Upbeats have regular training sessions and take part in tournaments and competitions across the United Kingdom throughout the year.

The programme is entirely funded by voluntary donations and your support is crucial in helping CACT to continue the programme in the future.

• Maximum number of 200 attendees/fundraisers allowed
• Registration will be open from 8.15am and the walk will be completed by 1pm at The Valley. 
• You will be supplied with a t-shirt and wristband upon registration and refreshments on the walk 
• Participants are personally responsible for preparing for all weather eventualities and are advised to pack suncream, rain jackets etc depending on the forecast
