London good causes battle for makeover prize


Ten good causes across London are battling it out for votes to win a share of a £10,000 makeover jackpot. The groups – including community centres, sports clubs and a school – are campaigning for the public’s support to come out on top in Leyland’s Big Community Makeover competition. The good cause with the largest share of support in a public vote will win £5,000 worth of decorating and DIY product from any Leyland store, with two runners-up receiving £2,500 of product each.


Martin Hastings, CEO of Leyland, said: “We are delighted to launch the next stage of our Big Community Makeover competition, which sees 10 very worthy good causes going head-


to-head in a battle for public support. “All of these groups do amazing work in their local community and have big plans if they are successful in securing one of our prizes. I can’t wait to see who comes out on top.” Big Community Makeover attracted more than 250 entries, with judges at Leyland whittling it down to a final 10. They are: Kentish Town Community Centre, Brixton Advice Centre, Nunhead Community Centre, Voluntary Action Islington, Family Based Solutions, Barnes Football Club, Malden Manor Primary School, Back Up, Ella’s and User Voice.
