Esher MP presents clubhouse with £20,000 boost
The new clubhouse in Claygate received a boost last Saturday (9th April) with funding from the Football Foundation, the country’s largest sports charity.
Dominic Raab, MP Parliament for Esher presented a cheque for £20,000 to Claygate Royals FC which takes the total figure raised to £294,000.
Dominic Raab said: “This is a terrific boost for the clubhouse project. I am delighted the Football Foundation have agreed to support the brilliant work being done by the local team delivering this invaluable local facility. Promoting local sport is important for health, fitness and community spirit – the clubhouse will be a wonderful family hub for the village.”
Richard Padun, Chairman of Claygate Royals Football Club, commented: “Being on the verge of having a new clubhouse, one that we can be truly proud of and that benefits the community at large is exciting for the whole football club and its members.
“We’re proud of all the stakeholders who have dedicated their time, effort and skill to deliver this project along with offering our full appreciation to organisations such as the Football Foundation for their generosity and commitment to this community project.”
A decision on when the building work will start will be announced shortly.
