It enabled the club to build a single-storey extension in the pre-existing building, including additional changing rooms, two equipment storage areas, a rehabilitation area and two externally accessible toilets.
Club secretary Hannah Faulds said: “Without the support of the Tarmac Communities Landfill Fund, it would have been exceedingly difficult for Lutterworth Rugby Football Club to carry out such much-needed works. The extension allows the club to meet safeguarding and gender separation obligations, as well as generally enhancing the facilities for the well-being of all the club’s players.”
