The Brentford Lifeline Society celebrated its 30th birthday on Saturday by sponsoring Friday Night`s match versus Burnley which enabled 30 members and their guests to mark the occasion in style in the Sponsor's Lounge. To help celebrate the anniversary the Club`s CEO Mark Devlin was present to draw out five lucky Lifeline winners, each of whom receive £2,500 in Thomson/First Choice Holiday Vouchers.
The Brentford Lifeline Society, which was launched at Hounslow Civic Centre on Thursday 16th January 1986, is one of the most well established Lifeline Societies in the country and still, to this day, supports the Club by funding projects that are outside of pre-arranged budgets.
Since being established it has raised in excess of £2 million for the Club by supporting such projects as the restoration of the Ealing Road terrace into a home end, upgrading the match commentary facilities offered to the Club’s blind and partially sighted supporters, and the refurbishment of the Club’s Jersey Road Training Ground among many other diverse projects.
More recently Lifeline has directed some of the funds raised towards the purchase of laptops for the Analytical Team to study and analyse player performance as well as contributing a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber and Anti-Gravity treadmill to the medical department to aid the recovery of players with long-term injuries.
Lifeline membership costs, as it did thirty years ago, just £2 a week and all members of the First Team squad are fully paid up members of the Society. To join the players and supporters as a member or for more information click here.
