Langford Football Club wins grant to help improve facilities and save on heating bills
The grant from E.ON’s Energising Communities Fund has been used to install double-glazed windows in both the team and officials’ dressing rooms and the club hopes it will now see a direct saving on its heating bills.
Ian Chessum, club secretary, said: “We’re very happy to have received the grant from E.ON to not only help us develop our energy efficiency but also to improve the quality of facilities that we can provide.

“Installing double-glazed windows will allow us to extend our current services to include hosting junior football matches for local youth football clubs, organising and hosting school holiday soccer camps and offering coaching by qualified staff throughout the year.”
Suzanne Doxey, community relations manager at E.ON, said: “We’re delighted to help Langford Football Club become more energy-efficient and installing double-glazed windows is a brilliant way to do so.
“It’s great that the club is also using this as an opportunity to improve the facilities and services it provides and as such offer more activities and events for local youth football clubs.
