Diamond geezer Brian McPhee is heading to Kenya in October to work with local communities.

​

The ex-Airdrie hitman, a popular figure among fans during two spells at the Club, has volunteered his services to projects such as running water installations at a local school, orphanage visits and sports coaching. 

​

Brian is making the trip through a company called African Adventures, and he told us it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

​

"It's one of these things that a lot of people would love to do, and I have time off work in October and can't think of a better way I would like to spend it".

​

In order to raise the funds necessary to make the trip, Brian has set up an online donations page, and he explained how the money would be used.

​

"I'm basically going over to to what I can. This comes at a cost of £1700 for flights, accommodation etc, and any extra money raised will be used to buy clothes, stationery etc for the school. 

​

"If the Airdrie fans would like to help then all the better!"

​

As a two-time Diamonds hero and Hall of Fame inductee, we certainly wish Brian all the best with a very worthwhile venture. Fans wishing to find out more information or to make a donation to the cause can visit Brian's page.
