BURG-WÄCHTER'S SECURE COMMUNITIES SCHEME KEEPS VANDALS AND THIEVES AT BAY FOR
SPORTING CHARITY Burg-Wächter UK's 'Secure Communities Scheme' is helping to keep outdoor equipment safe for a London sporting charity. The company received an application from Barn Elms Sports Trust for the free-of-charge support that the security specialist’s Secure Communities Scheme provides. Wishing to assist the Trust, Burg- Wächter has donated ten long shackle padlocks and five heavy duty chains to keep goal posts and nets secure at the playing fields overseen by the charity.
Barn Elms Sports Trust is dedicated to the management of sports on the Barn Elms Playing Fields, a London Borough of Richmond upon Thames owned site. The playing fields and facilities are used by a variety of local schools, sporting teams and community groups. Including pitches for football, rugby, cricket and rounders, there are also grass spaces for other sports and events, together with netball and tennis courts, plus a pavilion with changing rooms and space for hosting parties.
The long shackle, keyed alike padlocks donated by Burg-Wächter are from a broad range of weather- resistant options offered by the company. With hardened steel shackles they offer excellent security. These, together with the company’s heavy duty 10mm square link textile-coated chains, which are ‘Sold Secure Approved’ and meet the ‘Secured By Design’ police- preferred specification ensure great protection from vandalism and theft.
Simon Heffernan, General Manager of Barn Elms Sports Trust, commented: “We have a number of portable football goals that are left on the sports fields for community group use. Each goal can cost between £100 - £500 each, plus nets cost more on top (up to £100 per goal). We also have two sets of courts, and one set of cricket nets. These padlocks and chains will allow us to keep these facilities locked up out of hours and prevent

vandalism (which is an issue on site), and enable us to keep the equipment safe and functional for the community. The security equipment donation is therefore so welcome. Applying for it was simple. I went onto the company’s website and followed the link to its Secure Communities Scheme. Then all I had to do was to email some details to an address given there.”
Burg-Wächter's Secure Communities Scheme gives regional community leaders and volunteers the chance to win a security kit worth up to £200 for their organization. Any regional initiative that is run by or supports the local community can apply.
Burg-Wächter launched the scheme in recognition of the fact that people around the country who are doing their bit for their community should not have to worry about the security of their premises, equipment or storage areas. The company's Secure Communities Scheme is its way of saying thank you to community leaders for supporting people in their area.
The type of project or organisation that the scheme is open to is very wide-ranging. It could be a scouts group; a local sports group like a cycling or football club; a school after-hours club; a hospital or healthcare community programme; a provider of events for children or pensioners; a facilitator of village activity; or a town/village charity. As long as the initiative is run by or supports the local community, and it has a specific security need Burg-Wächter would like to hear about it. Successful applicants will each receive a tailored security kit to help secure property, premises, equipment or storage areas to the value of £150 - £200 at retail price.
The Secure Communities Scheme is an ongoing initiative, which has already helped over 100 regional causes through the provision of over 2,000 pieces of security equipment.
