Crystal Palace's nominated charity is Crystal Palace FC Community Scheme. Since 2002, they have received over £2,500 towards coaching costs for summer holiday coaching programmes. Nicky Jones, Finding Officer, is delighted with the results achieved,"The project is very successful with all courses sold out and over subscribed! Local children are able to attend and participate in activities not normally open to them and develop new social and activity skills through football in a positive and fun environment."
As a result of the 2006 Football Aid game at Selhurst Park, the Community Scheme will shortly be receiving a further £1,500. Full details on this award will follow shortly.
