MP Tom Randall welcomed the government’s £91,279 investment
He said: “The £91,279 for Gedling’s sports facilities will motivate more people to stay active and nurture sporting talent in the long term. “
The venue is one of over 2200 across the UK who have benefited from the government’s £300 million capital investment over 4 years in key multi-sport facilities.
Between 2021 and 2025, £261 million in government investment will go to England, along with investment from Football Foundation partners, the Premier League and the FA.
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said: “215 venues in the East Midlands are reaping benefits from a £64 million percentage investment in new and improved central sports facilities.
“From Boston to Chesterfield, Derby to Sherwood, we are key sporting facilities in the East Midlands to give more people greater access to high-quality pitches and conversion rooms.
“Sport is important to our physical and intellectual fitness and wellbeing, and these paintings with our partners at the Football Foundation will keep others in the East Midlands active. “
The investment will provide improvements, upgrades and new fields, leading to more high-quality services for other people to play football, hockey and other grassroots sports. It projects a diversity of types of facilities: from the creation or improvement of changing rooms, fields and football halls of artificial turf 3G, to lighting with spotlights, fences and better access for other people with disabilities.
The facilities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will see benefits of £3. 8 million invested by the government in partnership with the Armed Forces in the home country.

40% of the investment will go towards multi-sports facilities, ensuring that a wide range of sports are practised and helping to generate profits beyond football. The programme places special emphasis on broadening the participation of underrepresented teams such as women and girls, and persons with disabilities.
Robert Sullivan, from the Football Foundation, said: “Thanks to investment from the Premier League, the FA and the Government, the Football Foundation is investing more money than ever in grassroots football. Each of the services we fund will provide equal access for women and women. “. This means providing safe, available and inclusive environments for women and women from their on-site adventure to their first step on the ground.
