The football ground is a focal point of local activity—used not just for matches, but, on occasion, for youth programmes and community gatherings. In deprived areas where access to health and leisure services is already limited, this can be a lifeline for many disabled residents. We aim to create accessible facilities would allow more residents to take part, helping to improve mental wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and create stronger community bonds.

As we are an established Bowling Club we would like to widen our remit to include families with younger children therefore we need to update our age appropriate equipment.
As the mats, jacks and gatherers have not been maintained over a number of years they have now deteriorated to a level that they need replacing.
As it is our plan to create a pleasant and welcoming area for spectators we would like to build a raised bed for shrubs.
