Bowled over by support
2nd August 2016

When The Cricket Derbyshire Foundation was given a pavilion at the Derbyshire County Cricket Ground, the charity set out to transform it into an after-school sports and activity centre for underprivileged children. It approached Kensington Windows, a local, family run business which in turn contacted the Synseal Group.

Steve McGinty of Kensington Windows explained: “We were approached by the charity as the Architect on the project is a friend of mine and as we are local, they thought we might be able to help. We then approached the Synseal Group to see if they could offer any support and we were delighted when they agreed.

“The official opening took place recently and it really was a fantastic day, with local celebrities coming along to officially open the refurbished pavilion. We would like to thank the Synseal Group for supporting us with this project and wish The Cricket Derbyshire Foundation all the best with the new facility.”

Synseal Group Sales and Marketing Director Andy Jones, added: “Working with Kensington Windows, we have been able to contribute towards the supply and fit of the Patio Doors used at the facility and it brings us great pleasure to be able to offer help and support in this way.”

The Cricket Derbyshire Foundation was established as an extension to the ‘Cricket Derbyshire’ partnership between Derbyshire County Cricket Club and Derbyshire Cricket Board Ltd The Foundation promotes the power of sport, and specifically cricket, utilising the profile of Derbyshire County Cricket Club and its professional players to engage, inspire and motivate individuals to achieve and live positive and healthy lifestyles.

Steve concludes: “Even though some companies are cutting back, it’s reassuring to know that Kensington and Synseal combined were able to support this charitable initiative and assist in the provision of products - which will benefit the entire community.”
