In celebration of CAST's tenth birthday we are launching the CAST ticketbank ahead of the Carabao Cup game against Brighton on Wednesday 21st December and the Boxing Day game v Peterborough.

The CAST ticketbank will make available free match tickets for people who would like to come to The Valley and support Charlton but cannot afford to do so.

CAST members will be able to nominate individuals or families by contacting secretary@castrust.org. We don't require any information beyond names, categories (eg adult, senior, under 11 etc) and desired seat positions,  There is no need to make any justification for your nomination - we trust CAST members to use this fund appropriately and with discretion. (If there appears to be another eligible source of tickets - eg The CACT Community 500 initiative- we will explore that, but CACT tickets are primarily only for users of community groups that they work with.)

• Peter Varney has asked Charlton fans to create a great atmosphere at the Brighton game. Do you know anyone who would love to help create that atmosphere but finds it beyond their means in these difficult times ?
• Boxing Day football often feels special and tickets for a game might be a very timely Christmas present for someone struggling at the moment.

The CAST ticketbank is funded from donations and CAST reserves.

The sooner you can put names forward to secretary@castrust.org the sooner we can get the tickets distributed.

If you are not already among the 2,700 members of CAST, do join today - it only costs £5 annually and helps to strengthen the voice of the Addicks.
