Penketh Youth Centre
Case Study


As part of Gerflor’s commitment to CSR, the company played a positive role by donating an Olympic pedigree Taraflex® Sports surface in ‘Silver Gray’.

A Warrington Youth Centre that hosted a live vocal performance forty years ago from Freddie Mercury, who would later go onto to be the frontman of rock legends Queen, has been given some much-needed help by international flooring and interiors specialist Gerflor. As part of Gerflor’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the company played a positive role by donating an Olympic pedigree Taraflex® Sports surface in ‘Silver Gray’ that would benefit the Community and support Grass Roots for many years to come.

 

Penketh Youth Centre in Warrington provides activities such as Karate, Football, Netball, Dance and Crafts each day and is run by a hard-working group of Volunteers. A Doctor who volunteers and helps to run the centre outside of her busy schedule, takes up the story. Dr. Leila Dirir said, “The hall was built sometime in the early 1960’s and was funded as a youth club for decades but sadly fell into disrepair in the mid -1990’s. Around early 2000’s my late Father Allin Dirir decided to reinvigorate the club.

"It’s still hard to believe we were lucky enough to receive such a generous gift from Gerflor. This floor has absolutely transformed our club and will serve the children of the local area for decades to come."
