16/06/2022Centrus Communities has announced a £15,000 donation to Go Underhill an ambitious community project to transform the sporting and community facilities in Underhill Park in Wales which is home to Mumbles Rangers Football Club, Mumbles Rugby Club and is also used by Swansea Cricket Club.
The project has been led by a charity, Mumbles Community Association, which was set up specifically to drive the delivery of the new facilities in Underhill Park and to ensure the long-term management and development of the park for future generations.
Centrus Communities is the vehicle through which Centrus Financial and its employees contribute to communities in a variety of ways, whether through donations, volunteering or pro bono support and advice to projects, charities and social enterprises.
“Go Underhill is a fantastic project and I’m delighted that Centrus has been able to provide both financial support and advice on the fundraising process and to work with the great team of community volunteers bringing this project to life. Having played for both Mumbles Rangers and Mumbles Rugby club from a young age, Underhill Park holds very special memories for me.
Commenting on the partnership with Go Underhill, Centrus co-founder and CEO Phil Jenkins said
With friends and family in the area, I retain strong personal links with Mumbles and Centrus works with many social housing clients in South Wales, which makes it a great project for us to be involved with and our support underlines our commitment to delivering ‘Finance with Purpose'”
“We are very grateful to Centrus, and to Phil, for this £15,000 donation. Both the funding itself and the assistance that is being given are making a real difference to MCA’s ability to deliver this longed for project for the community in Mumbles.
Chair of MCA, Simon Tse, said:
On behalf of the Trustees and the people of Mumbles, I would offer a huge ‘Thank you’.”
