Potter Raper is proud to support Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) as part of our ongoing social value commitment to the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The three consultancies are appointed by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to advise on its capital repairs programme, upgrading the borough’s stock of council homes between 2024 and 2029. As part of these appointments, CACT has been approved as the Social Value Delivery Partner, helping each firm meet its contractual social value commitments in a way that delivers real, measurable benefit to local communities.
CACT has now published its Impact Report for the second year of the partnership, covering April 2025 to March 2026. Over the year, the partners’ combined investment supported four core CACT programmes: Youth Service, Early Help & Prevention, Health Improvement, and Football & Sports Development. Independently validated by the University of Greenwich, the report shows this investment generated over £330,000 of social value for the borough.
The impact is felt across every age group. CACT’s Young Greenwich youth hubs give young people aged 8 to 19 a safe space to socialise, build skills, and access hot, healthy food, helping reduce food poverty and support healthy lifestyles. The Early Help & Prevention strand covers disability support, mentoring, and award-winning mental health initiatives delivered with NHS partners across South East London and Kent. The Extra Time programme tackles social isolation among over-55s through weekly activities, days out, and social events, while the Football & Sports Development programme reaches thousands of young people each year through FA-qualified coaches.
“Our partnership with CACT continues to go from strength to strength. Seeing the tangible difference this investment makes to young people, families and older residents across Greenwich is exactly why we remain so committed to this work for the long term.” Dave Spiller, Director, Potter Raper
Potter Raper’s investment forms part of a wider commitment to embedding social value in the way we work, recognising that construction consultancy has a role to play in the communities where our projects are delivered, not just on site. We look forward to continuing this partnership with CACT in the year ahead.
