3 Year Contract signed with Charlton Athletic Community Trust worth £0.12m

Milestone (AIM: MSG), the AIM quoted provider of digital media and technology solutions announce that it has signed a three-year contract with Charlton Athletic Community Trust ("CACT") to provide a dedicated OnSide Pro solution.

The contract is over a 3 year period, worth £120,000 and will see CACT host a launch event for Onside Pro allowing further promotional opportunities for MSG as CACT's official 'Service Provider' amongst similar community service stakeholders within the football arena. Milestone will recognize the revenue from this contract in three equal installments through the life of the contract.

OnsidePro is a centralised management and reporting system, provided as a cloud-based service that can be accessed from any device anywhere with an internet connection. CACT is deploying it Trust wide across all operational departments. The system will be used to monitor all elements of its sessions from the time-keeping of the coaching staff through to attendance information for those taking part in its individual programmes.  Additionally it provides staff management and scheduling to manage allocation of staff against programme sessions ensuring the Trust's Health and Safety and Duty of Care obligations are monitored and reported.

Milestone has been working with CACT for a number of years, during which time the OnSide product has been developed. This agreement is the culmination of this work.

CACT uses the power of football in partnership with local communities to empower individuals to improve their lives and their environment. CACT's ground-breaking and innovative programmes are delivered through a regular presence in schools and working with disadvantaged or socially excluded groups in society, through crime reduction initiatives and community based football coaching sessions.

Onside Pro compliments CACTs innovative approach offering a Trust wide, leading edge management and reporting system for all operational departments across the Trust. It will provide access to key metrics and management information enabling the Trust to evidence outcomes of its services in real-time whilst also improving operational and administrative efficiencies. Information is recorded using iOS and Android mobile devices.

Jason Morgan, CEO of CACT said, "We have been working with MSG over several years and delighted that we can now officially launch the product. It will add huge value to us as an organisation and allow CACT to improve with way we operate and become more efficient across the Trust".

Deborah White, CEO of Milestone commented:
"Onside Pro is a natural progression of our work with Charlton and is another example of our ability to provide affordable bespoke systems using the modular platform we've developed over the last two years."
