Mayor of Bexley Raises Money for Starting Blocks Charity
Posted 3rd February
The Mayor of Bexley, Cllr Bernard Clewes MBE, teamed up with the South East Chamber of Commerce and Greenwich Community College Business Unit to raise money for the Greenwich Starting Blocks Trust.
As part of their match sponsorship for the recently televised Charlton Athletic vs. Leyton Orient match, Greenwich Community College Business Unit offered two tickets for auction at the December South East Chamber of Commerce networking event.
The Mayor, a lifelong Charlton fan, kindly donated £190 to the Starting Blocks Trust for the tickets.
Greenwich Starting Blocks Trust is a charity committed to helping young people in Greenwich sporting dreams come true. It will provide bursaries to give young, up-and-coming athletes a chance to develop their talents.
Kam Dehal, Greenwich Community College Business Unit Sales Director (pictured with the Mayor), was delighted with the amount raised:
“We were honoured to host the Mayor and help raise money for a fantastic cause.”
At the match the Mayor and his attendant, Steve Martin, enjoyed a tour of The Valley, pre-match meal and seats in the Directors Box.
Apart from the result (Charlton lost the match 1-0) The Mayor and Mr Martin thoroughly enjoyed the evening:
“The Mayor and I would like to say a big thank to Greenwich Community College Business Unit for a wonderful evening. The company and the food was superb.”
