Message of Appreciation to Cambridgeshire Constabulary Peterborough lions fc and the Make A Difference mad project

The Gambian Community in Peterborough would like to extend our sincere thanks to Kerry & Darren for joining us at yesterday evening’s celebration. It was an honour to welcome you both. Your presence brought real value, and the community genuinely appreciated the respect, warmth, and professionalism you all demonstrated.

We remain deeply grateful for the strong partnership we continue to build with Peterborough Lions Football Club. Your support — especially following the tragic incident earlier this year — has played an important role in helping our community stay united, resilient, and hopeful. The commitment shown by you and Darren do not go unnoticed.

Kerry has delivered an excellent speech, and it was encouraging to see how engaged the community was throughout. Your clarity, approachability, and professionalism made a significant impact.

We also kindly ask that you extend our appreciation to the entire team. We truly value your willingness to continue working alongside us, and we look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and further strengthen the relationship between Peterborough Lions Football Club and our community.

Thank you once again for your kindness, support, and the outstanding way you and your team conducted yourselves yesterday evening. It was a brilliant event — made even better by your presence.
