Project Flourish is proud to support The Dalgarno Trust community centre
Since 2021, we’ve been proud supporters of North Kensington-based community centre The Dalgarno Trust, which offers a variety of free activities and services to members of the local community.
In August this year, we worked with the Trust to sponsor two coaches to take youngsters from the local area on exciting days out to Chessington World of Adventures and GO Laser Tag in Surrey. Both trips were great successes, with the children enjoying the rides and games at Chessington and the forest setting for their laser tag battles.
Boutayna Reguibi, Youth Programme Coordinator at the Dalgarno Trust, said:
“When Ballymore agreed to support us by sponsoring two coaches for our trips this summer, we were really pleased as it meant more young people who access our holiday provision would be able to have amazing, memorable days out.
“The children were so happy to go on a coach and take part in activities that they might not have had the chance to do otherwise. For many of them, this was the first time they had been to Chessington World of Adventures or played laser tag, and having the coaches enabled us to take much larger groups than usual. This also meant we were able to take a wider age range of children to enjoy a very special day out.
“Our community centre is used as a food bank on Thursdays, so we like to take the youngsters on trips then. Usually, we are limited to where we can go because we don’t have transport and, without it, we can only take about 20 young people on trips. Having the coaches meant nobody missed out.
“Having support from Ballymore this summer has really made a difference to our programme and the activities we can provide.”
The trips in August were just the latest activities we have sponsored to help the Trust. In December 2023, we donated 40 tickets so local children could attend a festive singalong screening of Sing 2 at the ODEON Luxe in Leicester Square.
The Dalgarno Trust does an amazing job locally for so many families and we’re thoroughly looking forward to our continued relationship with everyone there. For more information about the Dalgarno Trust and the fantastic work they do, please visit www.dalgarnotrust.org.uk.
We’re also really keen to work with other local organisations like The Dalgarno Trust, so please get in touch if you think we can work with you and provide some support.
