CHELSEA HELPS LONDON CHILDREN!
22/09/2009
The Blues have officially kicked off their new charity partnership with 95.8 Capital FM’s Help a London Child!
This special partnership hopes to raise money by making people more aware of the work of Help a London Child. The charity supports children and young people experiencing abuse, poverty, homelessness, disability and illness throughout London.
Chelsea players launched the project with children from the Brunswick Club in Kensington. After meeting Carlo Ancelotti and getting autographs and pictures with the entire first team, the kids joined Petr Cech, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba for a spot of shooting practice.
Blues captain John Terry was excited to be involved in the project. “We are in a fortunate position to be able to help good causes,” he said. The whole team is looking forward to supporting Help a London Child and the fantastic work it does with kids.”
Didier Drogba, who helped kids practise their free-kicks, was also glad to be involved with the charity. “I understand that just a smile can make a big difference to these kids, so it is important for us to lend a hand to the youngsters in the community,” said the striker. “I have my own kids, so it is nice to be able to help. I have lived in London for five years now and my kids are London kids, which makes it closer for me.”
