Regeneration of Helensburgh Rugby Club Training Area and 3rd Playing Pitch with LED Floodlights
Helensburgh Cricket & Rugby Football Club
Helensburgh Rugby Club proposes the regeneration of its 3rd playing pitch and training area by installing new LED floodlights and upgrading existing ones which a majority of which are broken/not working. This initiative aims to improve energy efficiency and enable year-round training and matches, crucial during winter. The enhanced lighting will support the development of women's and girls' rugby teams, promoting inclusivity and diversity providing a better environment that is more welcoming and inclusive for adults, boys' and girls' training. Community groups will also benefit from improved evening access, with associated public health benefits. Aligned with Scottish Government priorities, the project will boost the local economy by improving access to community sports facilities and address the climate emergency through the introduction of energy-efficient lighting replacing inefficient sodium lighting with LED lights. The total project cost is estimated at £22,376, and we are seeking £3000 or a contribution. Key activities include: 1. Enabling Night-Time Grass Pitch Sport Facilities: Providing evening sports opportunities. 2. Expanding Sports Facilities: Opening access to community and local sports groups, and enhancing pathways from under 4s to adults, promoting health and well-being. 3. Promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: Ensuring the facility is inclusive. Project timeline: Due to the scale of the project, completion is dependent on funding, of which we have commenced the project in Aug 24, due to club fundraising of £1000 and a grant received by the Friends of Scottish Rugby £2000. The project allows for an extended timeframe pending funding and we are able to complete the project in stages.
