In partnership with England Football, Scottish FA and Northern Irish Football Foundation, the Howdens Game Changer Programme was launched to support grassroots football with improved clubhouse facilities that are at the heart of the community. Over three years, we will provide kitchens for 450 clubs across the UK, so clubs outside of the professional game have a hub where players and local people can congregate, nurture young talent, and keep the spirit of football alive. Championed by football legends Jill Scott, Chris Kamara, and Julie Fleeting, these new club kitchens present valuable funding opportunities for small teams by giving them the facilities to serve food and drink. This makes them more attractive for external hire and less reliant on external funding to survive.
