Brentford players Been Mee and Karen Abou-Abdallah have been recognised for their community work by being awarded the PFA's Community Champion. 

Abou-Abdallah has been involved with lots of the work done by the Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, she has engaged with inmates at HMP Bronzefield as part of the Twinning Project, participated in the Trust's celebrations acknowledging the 30th anniversary of the Premier League, and attended several schools and football-based programmes to offer support and advice to the next generation of aspiring female footballers. 

Since joining from Burnley last summer, Mee has quickly got involved with community work in West London, championing the Planet League campaign and has been involved with lots of work from the Trust. 

Mee said to club media: "Community is at the heart of everything Brentford do and I'm pleased to have played a part in that this season. 

"We all have a part to play in our community, whether it be environmentally or socially." 

The PFA Community Champion Awards were created by the Professional Footballers Association to help celebrate footballers doing work to help people in their communities, with each club nominating one Community Champions for each season.
