Project Aims
Community
With the Town Fund Deal and Cumberland Council making available 100% of the capital expenditure to design and build the facilities, the project represents a once-in-a generation opportunity to create a positive change for the clubs, and to deliver:
Improved Sports Facilities – provide modern, state of the art, playing facilities to replace the clubs outdated and deteriorating stadia for the benefit of both the clubs and the wider community of Workington and the West Cumbria area.
Commercial Support – CSV will support the aspiration for both clubs to progress up their respect leagues in terms of both the ground grading requirements, and the opportunity to explore a wider range of commercial opportunities with the aim of ensuring that both clubs, and CSV, have a profitable and sustainable future.
Health in the Community - The development will be a sustainable, high quality, inclusive and accessible scheme. The facilities will serve as a community hub, which will seek, using sport, to help tackle the key societal issues that the area faces. This integrated approach supports and builds on the ethos of both clubs who have strong, successful community programmes.
