Building maintenance company improves Wood Lane Community Centre in White City
Queens Park Rangers star Bradley Orr took time out from celebrating his team's promotion to the Premiership to pay a visit to children in a Shepherds Bush estate who have a new all-weather football pitch, which was resurfaced thanks to a £10,000 grant from Hammersmith and Fulham Council's repairs contractor Kier Building Maintenance.
The footballer visited the Wood Lane Estate in White City to officially open the Tenants and Resident's Association's (TRA) astro-turf pitch. Kier Building Maintenance paid for the new pitch after Hammersmith and Fulham Council helped the TRA bid for a grant from the Minor Estates Improvement (MEI) programme.
Dozens of children and their families came out to meet defender Bradley, 28, who has played a key role in QPR's promotion-winning season.
Bradley said: "It's a pleasure to come here and meet the supporters. It's fantastic you are encouraging young boys and girls get up and play football."
Kier Building Maintenance regularly gives a percentage of its profits to important projects for residents in the areas in which it works and donated the money to the Council's MEI programme to finance the Wood Lane work.
Michelle Davies, Kier Building Maintenance's contract manager for Hammersmith and Fulham, said: "Kier Building Maintenance works with thousands of residents every year and we really wanted to give something back. We volunteered our direct labour team's time to make sure that it was all completed quickly so the local children could enjoy the benefits as soon as possible.
"Areas for activity are quite limited in the White City area so it is brilliant to be able to get this service up and running again especially as a lot of the local children use the community centre daily after school. This all-weather pitch will be free for all to use and we are all delighted to find such a deserving cause for our donation."
