Last Thursday marked an exciting milestone in both the Football Foundation’s 20-year history - and our national game’s 150-year history.
Two years of working with local groups to map out the football facilities needed across every local authority area in England is complete.
318 tailored Local Football Facility Plans have been created. That means that for the first time ever we have a detailed roadmap to give this country the grassroots facilities it needs.
Because Darlaston Town (1874) has benefited from the Football Foundation funding in the past, you have been a part of our 20 year-history. We’d love you to help us celebrate this landmark moment for the future of the grassroots.
LOCAL FOOTBALL FACILITY PLAN WALSALL
This plan is an exciting milestone in our long-term ambition to transform the landscape of grassroots football across England. It showcases the community facilities that Walsall needs to enable more players of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to feel the many benefits of our national game. It was created in partnership between the Football Foundation, local authority, sports clubs, schools and the County FA.
