I think this is a great idea, I’m a Luddite Unfortunately, but I would like to donate I haven’t got PayPal, I’m not on Facebook etc. How can I?
@CharltonKerry if you still need to do this and you've got internet/phone banking, I could put your £2 in for you and you could send me the £2 to my bank a/c.
I'm happy to do this for anyone else who doesn't have PayPal and can't get to the shop.
@leefender This initiative, and everything you've done with the tickets for kids, is amazing. Top stuff, and have made a donation to Debbie to keep the ball rolling.
What is even more heartwarming is that, for the first time in god knows how many years, the club is responding in the Charlton way. Like he did with the protest collection, Sandgaard already gets what it is to be part of this club, where it's not all about what happens on the pitch, but the difference you make to those who need help off it. COYA!

Would you mind doing £20 for me please. I’m will willingly send it to you prior to passing it on. I won’t be able to send it for a couple of hours, as I’m working.
@leefender you sir deserve all the plaudits that come your way. This is an emmense idea and is Charlton through and through!! With TS backing this and Hummel coming on board as well, this could be a fantastic Christmas for many young Charlton fans, who otherwise may never get their own Charlton shirt. Well done sir, I doff my hat to you!
Thanks gents, I can provide bank details for Debbie who works at the club shop, really please how this has gone and is bigger than I anticipated. Lots of credit needs to go to Debbie at the shop and also TS. Spoke with one of his sons on messenger yesterday and can confirm that TS has no PR team, he responds personally every time. Even his boy can't believe how active he has become on twitter.
Anyway, bank details are below, Debbie then transfers it straight to the paypal
Heard about it from Terry and Greg on the Valley Pass commentary. They said they had already raised enough for shirts for 150 kids. Great idea! Just sent some wedge.
Great idea @leefender, and no surprise to see so many Charlton fans chipping in to help (I coughed up a few quid earlier). The bit I really love though is that our owner has spotted this on social media and responded the way he has. Duchatelet would just have been bemused by this, and Southall would have used it as a down payment on the Bride of Mancenstein's latest bodywork upgrade.
This has turned out fantastic 👏👏there will be so many families who will struggle to fund Christmas this year and this could just save it for them Top man for doing this 5 shirts 😂🤣🤣 Will donate later when I wake up later and my brain can deal with figures and bank accounts!
What a great idea and a round of applause all round for letting it expand into something bigger than originally anticipated. Just dropped a score into Debbie’s bank account
Great idea! Having 3 boys who are mad about footy and Charlton, I know how hard it can be especially in this current climate. Got to buy them all a shirt this christmas as I have done every year since they were born and its so much harder this year to make sure the moneys there!
Just donated £7.50, wish I could have donated more but hopefully that will help a bit!
Noticed it tries to charge me 99p to use my card on PayPal, is there a way to avoid that? I put it as a gift, which I thought was free. I’d obviously rather the 99p went on the shirts than to PayPal, especially if there’s hundreds of people with the same issue
Is it on trust that only those who are struggling financially will enter?
Also... I wonder how the trust will identify local under privileged kids.
No aggressive agenda here and I have certainly chipped in. I just have a curious mind when it comes to the way these things are organised.
Keep the money flowing, guys. I reckon there are still loads of people who are willing to contribute, but who have not yet done so.
The above is a fair question. I have donated as this is a brilliant initiative. However, it would be even better if the shirts can go to the "right" families, rather than a scenario where little Johnny has a donated Charlton shirt next to the full away kit and various other bits all propped up against his motor driven go kart. I know this is the tricky bit so if it is a simple draw then so be it.
Actually when I see that at present the plan is to pay full RRP of £45 per shirt, for what is a volume purchase, shouldn't both the club and its supplier consider a discount?

The suggestion of getting the Trust to help you find destinations for shirts is a good one.
Excellent work with this Lee, you represent everything that is great about this club. Will be sending some money over.
Cheers mate

Thankfully my name has been around long enough to give it some credibility from others
Top man for doing this
