The cash boost will provide a new sports complex at the ground, incorporating four changing rooms, two referees changing areas and a social area. In keeping with Foundation policy, all facilities will be fully accessible for disabled players and fans.

The existing pavilion consists of a dilapidated timber building with a leaking roof. With their modern complex the committee will establish an annual mini soccer five a side competition, create new opportunities for football mad girls in the community as well as boosting participation rates for footballers of all ages and abilities.

The Foundation is dedicated to revitalising grass roots football and funding community projects using football as vehicle for social inclusion. Funded by the FA Premier League, The FA, Sport England and the Government, the Foundation is a unique partnership with an annual budget of £53m per year.

Foundation Chief Executive, Peter Lee, welcomed this funding boost:
“All footballers deserve the opportunity to play on good pitches and to have access to modern changing rooms. We would encourage all clubs to come to us to see what funding is available for them. The Kirton and Falkenham Recreation Ground Committee deserve our congratulations for their excellent project and for their dedication in bringing modern facilities to hundreds more players.”
