Iain Stewart MP has welcomed the announcement that 178 projects across the UK will receive extra funding to support grassroots football in their local communities.
The funding for UK grassroots football includes £50,376 for Kents Hill Park School in Milton Keynes.
The investment from the Government, the FA, and the Premier League, will create and improve football pitches, changing rooms, and pavilions.
£39 million has been invested by the Government to upgrade football facilities in England this financial year.
The new investment will widen access so that new generations and more local communities can come together, take up sport, and access high-quality facilities.
Commenting, Iain Stewart MP said: “Too many communities across the UK do not already have access to the high standard of local sports facilities that they need and deserve.
“I welcome £50,376 in investment from the Conservative Government, the FA, and the Premier League for Kents Hill Park School, which will support upgrades to changing rooms, pitches, and pavilions – widening access so that even more local residents can benefit from high quality sports facilities.
“Access to high quality facilities and increased participation can be transformational – this investment in grassroots sport will improve physical and mental wellbeing and bring our communities together.”
