Charlton recently celebrated Community Day at The Valley for the 2026/27 season, as the club and Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) came together to highlight the positive impact being made by the Trust across south-east London and Kent.
Nathan Jones' side marked the occasion with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United, with Millenic Alli and Matty Godden finding the net while wearing a special match shirt dedicated to CACT's £83m in social impact, after front-of-shirt partner RSK generously donated their branding position in support of CACT.
Supporters in attendance at The Valley were able to learn more about CACT's work throughout the afternoon, with impact statistics displayed on LED advertising boards around the stadium thanks to the support of RSK, the University of Greenwich, TodayTix and Reebok.
The day also provided an opportunity for participants from across CACT's programmes to enjoy Community Day at The Valley and be part of a memorable afternoon in SE7.
Alongside the Community Day celebrations, Charlton Athletic, CACT and Bexley Council formalised their long-standing partnership through the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) ahead of kick-off, aimed at improving opportunities and outcomes for residents across the borough.
Everyone at CACT would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make Community Day possible, from our partners and supporters to participants, volunteers and staff.
