PORTAKABIN have provided the funds for Huntington Football Club's Under-9s to invest in new kit.

Darren Havercroft, the manager of the team, is also transport co-ordinator at Portakabin in York.

"It’s a great help," he said. "Our team gives local children the chance to learn skills involved in football in a safe and secure environment."

Portakabin also donated money to the 1st Huntington (All Saints) Scout Group as part of its policy to support community groups where its employees play an active role as a volunteer.

Since 2015, almost £10,000 has been donated by modular expert Portakabin, supporting a variety of voluntary organisations around its UK network of over 100 Hire and Visitor Centres.

Amanda Stainton, Human Resources Director of Portakabin, said: “Our communities play an incredibly important role within our businesses; here in York and around our network. Encouraging and supporting grassroots community initiatives means we can actively engage with our employees and their families as well as offer guidance and funding to those most in need."
