East Dean player's Pett project is for great cause

Pett, an occasional contributer to the Chichester Observer’s sport pages, has been congratulated by the club for his efforts.

An initial target of £100 was raised within a few hours of the donation page being set up, with many of the funds received from fellow players and staff at Eas Dean FC.

His next target of £250 was then reached and he eventually totalled £300 by the end of the month.

All proceeds go towards tackling mental health and men’s health, a subject high on the radar in the currently climate.

Pett said: “I couldn’t believe I reached my original target so quickly.

“After seeing how well it was received I upped it and that target was also smashed.

“The charity is close to my heart and I wanted to do my part in helping fight the taboo subject of mental health.

“ I’d like to thank everyone who donated, it means a lot.”
