Deeley Construction nets charity funds

Deeley Construction staff swapped the building site for the football pitch to raise money for charity.

The firm staged a five-a-side tournament match at St Finbarrs to help raise money for the Belgrade Theatre’s ‘Theatre in Education’ fund.

Deeley Construction’s side was joined by teams from BPS, Robothams Architects and Orbit Homes with BPS taking the overall crown.

The competition, which was organised by Edward Hudson, business development co-ordinator at Deeley Construction, raised a further £200 for the charity.

Edward said: “We had already contributed £2,500 for the appeal, which is working to guarantee funding for the group for the next three years, so we’re really pleased with the progress we’ve made so far.

“The football match was a great way to get everyone involved and raise further funds and awareness of the charity, which is a very worthwhile cause.

“All that said, there was still an element of friendly competition and our congratulations go to BPS for their success on the day!

“We’re very much looking forward to planning more fundraising events, which will boost the funds and promote the charity even more – and will also give us a chance to be victorious next time.”
