A while ago dh donated ( with heavy but glad heart) a number of chelsea football shirts he had collected over his years of supporting Chelsea. The group he donated them to are part of the CHelsea Football in the Community project. This group works with boys who have a range of special needs from cp to down's syndrome, and some missing or with impaired limbs.
We went up to Wandsworth today to see what the group does.... mainly cause I am soo nosy. We watched the boys - of various ages train and then we joined them for a Stadium tour around Chelsea Football Ground. It was inspiring watching them play - apparently they played a tournament last weekend - juniors won and seniors came second.
The tour guide was brilliant - those stroppy shop assistants could take some lessons from him - he genuinely seemed to enjoy taking the boys around and answered their questions with patience ( even when it was the same question that he had answered a number of times) He also made it such fun for them.
It was great watching the enjoyment of the boys and how well behaved they were ( not that that was a surprise.)
We all had a brilliant day.
