The programme is designed to support individuals and groups of all levels and engage with people who are less active, yet keen to do something.
The GCG programme was developed by the Greenwich Sport Physical Activity and Health (SPAH) Group, and is supported by Sport England.
Football Ticket Initiative Scheme
CARE also runs a football ticketing scheme, which gives members of local community groups and voluntary sector organisations the chance to attend matches at Charlton.
The scheme is targeted at groups and individuals who might not have the opportunity to attend.
