CRICKET-MAD youngster bowled over by newly decorated bedroom

A CRICKET-MAD youngster was bowled over by his newly decorated bedroom – thanks to dab-handed colleagues at Nottingham mail centre.

A local family was struggling as their seriously disabled daughter needed a bigger bedroom which meant her brother Hassan had to move out of his.

Our team was happy to roll up their sleeves and give Hassan’s new room a makeover. With the help of a £500 community grant from Royal Mail they bought furniture and memorabilia for the sports-mad nine-year-old.

‘Hassan was thrilled with his room, particularly the cricket bat signed by the Pakistani cricket team I managed to get for him,’ says Kevin Dickinson, a night shift manager. It’s great he’s got his own space where he can relax and just be himself.’
