BD Group joins Daggers to Celebrate Diversity Day
Scores of local people converged at Dagenham and Redbridge FC’s ground on Saturday 24th February to take part in their annual Daggers Celebrate Diversity Day.
For the fourth consecutive year, BD Group sponsored the event which aims to celebrate cultural diversity across the borough and highlight efforts to promote community engagement.
The day featured a range of activities, including a penalty shoot-out, inflatables, cricket, music, free give-aways, and a giant crane ride for children. A number of guests were also in attendance including the army, the police, the fire brigade, and representatives from the Mayor of London’s office.
The matchday programme design winner was treated to a VIP day out with her family and the second and third placed runners-up also received prizes.
Two-walk-out teams made up of young people from schools in the borough, accompanied the players onto the pitch before spectators were treated to a thrilling match between Dagenham & Redbridge FC and FC Halifax Town.
Although the hosts lost, nothing could take the shine off what proved to be a memorable day.
