, Member of Parliament for
Beverley and Holderness, has welcomed the Government's
announcement that grants have been awarded to three new
grassroots sporting facilities across Beverley and
Holderness.
Projects across the area will receive £44,938 to improve
facilities and increase participation in the respective towns and
villages. In Beverley Rural, Newbald Junior FC will receive
£23,715 for new maintenance machinery. Hornsea Town FC has been
awarded £20,248 to purchase machinery and Patrington AFC has been
awarded £975 for new goalposts.
This funding demonstrates the Government’s commitment to make
more high-quality facilities available for people to play
football, hockey and other grassroots sports. By doing so, more
people will be able to enjoy the huge physical and mental health
benefits associated with playing sport.
Culture Secretary commented: “We are committed to
levelling up access to sport which is so important for the
nation’s physical and mental health.
“Today we are delivering more than 1700 new and improved
grassroots sports facilities across the UK to continue to
support, sustain and grow community and grassroots sport – so
that physical activity is accessible to all, no matter a person’s
background or location.”
Beverley and Holderness MP said: “I know that our
community sport clubs will get a massive boost from this funding
which will improve sporting facilities in Hornsea, Patrington and
Newbald. We are all aware of the power of sport to bring us
together and it is great there will be more opportunities to do
this across Beverley and Holderness.
