The Howdens’ Game Changer programme was launched in April to improve clubhouse facilities at grassroots football clubs across the UK and is set to deliver more than 450 kitchens to clubs over a three-year period.

Nick James Chairman of Teversal FC said: “We are thrilled to have been selected to be part of the Howdens Game Changer programme, and now having a new kitchen in our clubhouse. Having this new kitchen will mean that the clubhouse can be used by the whole community, from our junior players to parents and supporters, and to our volunteers who give up their time each week to support us. It really is great to see the impact that the Game Changer programme is having on grass roots football first-hand.”

Lyndsey Thompson - Assistant Manager Howdens Joinery Limited – Mansfield adds: “We’re incredibly proud to have supplied a kitchen to Teversal FC. The community that we operate in is very important to us. We know that kitchens are the heart of our homes and believe that they should be the heart of our local communities too.

“There is a lot of attention on grassroots football and what happens on the pitch, but off-pitch facilities are just as important. Clubhouses are often the hub of the community, where teas and coffees keep parents warm on rainy weekends, where the frozen wet feet of the army of volunteers dry off and when the post-match discussion begins.”

The Howdens Game Changer programme was launched by football legends Jill Scott, MBE and Chris Kamara, MBE who lent their support by driving home the importance of grassroots football and clubhouse facilities on their own careers.

With depots all over the country, Howdens carries one of the largest in-stock ranges in the UK across kitchens, flooring, joinery and hardware, so that products are readily available and projects of any size can be completed without delay.
