The project will develop programmes of activities for children and young people with Down’s Syndrome newly named as the Charlton Upbeats and will develop a band of volunteers and peer mentors to help the children with a range of activities. The Charlton Athletic Community Trust trust will deliver the activities at the Charlton Athletic training ground and The Valley, which is the clubs home ground. The programmes will include football, dance, drama, art, music, speech therapy and four environmental projects. The aim of the project is to provide community activities and make the young people feel part of their local community.
