Culcheth Sports Club Development

By Kat McEvoy

Daten upgrade due to a Biffa Award

The Sports Changing and showering rooms will be given a major upgrade thanks to a Biffa Award grant close to £50,000. Biffa Award is a multi million pound fund that helps to build communities and transform lives through awarding grants to community and environmental projects across the UK as part of the Landfill Communities Fund.

The project will provide 4 completely refurbished changing rooms for teams, 2 officials' changing rooms and 2 showering facilities along with a new heating system to provide a modern facility for the benefit of the whole community. The new heating and hot water system will enhance the sports changing and showering facility and bring the facility up to the Football Association national step 7 requirement.

The current facilities are not adequate to meet modern standards and without this grant from Biffa Award the club would have struggled to maintain the current level of participation. With this development we aim to increase club membership and sports participation in the surrounding area.

Stuart Nightingale, Chairman of the Football Club, who play Cheshire County football, said, 'This grant will enable us to continue our work to grow the club, In the past year we have increased the No of teams using the facility from 5 to 7 with 2 youth teams having joined the club this year'.

Gillian French, Head of Grants, Biffa Award said 'Transforming the changing rooms at Culcheth Sports Club will hopefully help to increase membership, and engagement in sport. Projects such as this are an excellent example of how the Landfill Communities Fund can help to create outstanding facilities for the community.'

The plans for the new development have been posted within the club and work will start in May and finish by August 2016
