Brentford maybe in League One, but they have shown they have eyes for the Premier League when it comes to investing in the community.
The Bees were unveiled as one of five companies - including Anglo American, Heineken UK, Lend Lease and LSI Architects - to be awarded the Business in the Community CommunityMark award for 2010.
The five firms have invested the equivalent of £52,968,718 in their communities over the past year and Brentford join Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers, Glasgow Rangers and Heart of Midlothian as the only football clubs in the UK to be honoured.
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Mills said: “Once again Brentford Football Club has been recognised as a significant and key investor in their local community.
“The importance of National recognition and the Community Mark Award should not be underestimated nor should the input of the Brentford Community Trust, Griffin Park Learning Zone and all of the staff at Brentford Football Club who continue to make achievements like the Community Mark Award possible.”
