A PLUMSTEAD football club has received a welcome cash injection from the Football Foundation.

Teviot Rangers JFC picked up £11,300 from the country’s largest sports charity which will be used to redevelop the club’s changing rooms.

The new changing facility will comprise of a new referee room, a girls’ changing room, a home team changing room and an away team changing room, all of which will have shower facilities.

Club secretary Tracy Maddocks said: “Without the funding we have received from the Football Foundation, it would have taken us years to get our facilities up to the standard we require.

“We can now push our club forward.”

Football Foundation chief executive Paul Thorogood added: “Teviot Rangers JFC has been extremely energetic and has worked tirelessly in partnership with the London FA to secure this funding.

“I am thrilled to see their hard work rewarded with this substantial Football Foundation grant.”

Funded by the Premier League, the FA, and the Government via Sport England, the Football Foundation is the country’s largest sports charity.

Since it was launched in 2000, the Foundation has awarded around 8,000 grants worth more than £420m towards improving grassroots sport, which it has used to attract additional partnership funding of over £520m.
