Grace College – Sports Facilities Consultation
Grace College, part of the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, is in talks with the Football Association and Football Foundation about constructing an all-weather 3G pitch.
The £750,000 facility would provide a year-round playing surface for both football and rugby. If built, it will be used to enhance the college’s sports provision during the day, and offered to grassroots clubs and the local community during school holidays, evenings and weekends.
Discussions are progressing well. Grace College will part-fund the new pitch, but the project will only come to fruition if an application for funds from the Football Foundation is successful.
To support the bid, the college is appealing to the local community, grassroots teams and their participants to take part in a public consultation to assess demand for the new facility.
The results of the consultation, which will also estimate potential usage of the pitch by local clubs, will be used to support the application to the Football Foundation for funding support.
