Annbank United CFC has saw a regeneration in of the football club in the past 3 years from near closure to winning the Amateur Premier League. Our community football club provides a safe, friendly environment for local men to stay active and socialise, providing a sense of community. The club is well supported by the local community who come to watch every week. At this present time there is no Clubhouse, due to being destroyed in the storm, therefore we are unable to function fully.

The IT equipment would benefit the hall in terms of increasing lets as within the facility we could accommodate learning seminars and business meetings by offering a hybrid approach and also access to online learning which would enhance the development our our community hall. Also having a new notice board would allow the community to clearly display any activities and events that is happening within the local area and hopefully encourage participation.

This project will benefit the local community and surrounding area to introduce learners to sign language as well as current users being able to practice their language skill. As well as learning this could be a good opportunity to bring people together to support their general health and wellbeing and hopefully encourage them to become more involved in other things within the village.
