CALLING all sports clubs in the Slough and South Bucks area. Are your colours fading as the season draws to a close, or has your kit now seen better days?

The team at a new Crown Decorating Centre store in Slough - which opens its doors on Friday June 19 - want to give its support to a squad from the vibrant sporting community by buying new kit for one deserving group.

Nicky Dadra, manager of the new store in Farnham Road, is appealing for sporting groups to get in touch and explain why they would benefit from a new kit up to the value of £500.

Dadra said: “While we're new to Slough, the Crown Decorating Centres network prides itself on being part of the communities where we do business right across the country.

"It’s great to give something back so we want to find a team that will really benefit from our help.

“We know that sports teams struggle to find sponsorship and it can be a drain on parents’ or players’ pockets to have to fund new kit, so this is our way of saying we want to help you brush up your image.”

To enter the Crown Decorating Centre Sports Kit Appeal send details of your team and why you need a new kit to slough@crownpaints.co.uk and mark your email ‘Crown Sports Kit Appeal’. Feel free to send pictures of your team too.

Alternatively, you can post entries to Crown Decorating Centre, Unit 3, Farnham Road Trading Park, Slough, SL1 4UN, or pop into the store with your entry.

All sporting teams and groups are welcome to enter. The only criteria is that you are a not-for-profit organisation and based within 10 miles of the Slough store.

The deadline for entries is Monday, June 5.
