**Senior managers at an international hotel company have donated their time to five
Middlesex voluntary organisations.**

Yesterday all the General Managers and Regional Vice Presidents for Hilton UK & 
Ireland brandished spades, rakes and paint brushes to assist five local Middlesex
community organisations with gardening, painting and cleaning on behalf of the Hilton
in the Community Foundation.

The beneficiary charities were Brambles Respite Care Home, St. Barts Church, Gables
Nursing Home, Oakwood Secondary School and Horley Infants School. The volunteer 
initiative was part of the Annual General Managers’ conference held at the Hilton
London Gatwick Airport.

The six teams, totalling 127 people, were given three hours to complete their missions,
which varied from clearing and planting pathways and flowerbeds to painting a play
house.

“We wanted to bring a different dimension to our meeting this year,” says Wolfgang
M. Neumann, Area President Hilton UK & Ireland, which operates 78 hotels. “This 
hands-on approach re-iterates the aim of the Hilton in the Community Foundation –
to provide for the communities local to our hotels, not just by providing funds 
but by taking an active interest. We are delighted to help provide a better environment
for the people these organisations serve and help.”
