Ben Jay bucket collection

Following the tragic passing of Ben Jay back in 2022, the Jay family set up The Ben Jay Butterfly Fund to support Young Lives vs Cancer.

They have since raised over £21,000 in Ben’s name and can be found in and around the ground on Saturday for the annual fundraiser.

Steve Thompson tribute

The club will observe a period of applause ahead of kick-off on Saturday in memory of former player Steve Thompson, who sadly passed away at the age of 70.

Thompson, whose family will be pitchside for the period of applause at Saturday's fixture, made 112 appearances for the Addicks across all competitions between 1985 and 1988.
