Manstow FC Recieve Investment from Howdens

Manstow FC are thrilled and incredibly grateful to be recipients of the #HowdensGameChanger award, which will supply our home ground, Filham Park, with brand new, fully fitted kitchen facilities. Howdens at Marsh Mills, Plymouth will undertake the build. Club Chairman, Paul Maller, commented, "All at the club are really grateful for this support, it will transform what we are able to offer from our clubhouse, provide long-term income on match days, and improve the match day experience for parents and players alike".

The Game Changer Programme

At Howdens, we believe in being worthwhile for all, which is why we launched The Game Changer Programme to support grassroots football with improved clubhouse facilities that are at the heart of the community. We are providing kitchens for 450 clubs across the UK, so lower-league teams have a hub where players and local people can congregate, nurture young talent, and keep the spirit of football alive. Championed by football legends Jill Scott, Chris Kamara, and Julie Fleeting, these new club kitchens present valuable funding opportunities for small teams by giving them the facilities to serve food and drink. This makes them more attractive for external hire and less reliant on external funding to survive. Find out more about the game changer program here.
