Stockton Football and Cricket Club in Warwickshire has unveiled its new facilities which were supported by a £10,000 grant from HS2 Ltd.

The renovation, with design and planning undertaken by Kier, will support the significant rise in interest shown by women's and girls' teams wanting to compete in local sports including football, cricket, netball, baseball and pétanque.

The clubhouse extension includes two separate team changing rooms to host home and away teams, officials changing rooms, showers, accessible toilets, kit and equipment storage and an alternative access for wheelchair users to use the clubhouse.

The new changing rooms, which opened for use last year, have already had a huge impact on all teams, particularly supporting a rise in Netball teams using the club. The changing facilities are fully inclusive, offering wheelchair access, disabled toilets and baby changing facilities.

Rick Musson, Football Manager at Stockton FCCC, said: "We are pleased to report that not only have we had positive feedback on our facilities from our visiting teams, but a number have wanted to use our facilities as their home ground. It’s a resounding vote of support for the club, the wider community, as well as our legacy to the next generation."
