We’ve teamed up with our contractor Axis to refurbish a football pitch in Hackney.
 
The community space at Lewis Place estate had fallen into disrepair, meaning Hackney Wick FC’s women’s team struggled to play there regularly.
 
Working with Axis, we jumped into action. We installed brand-new astro-turf, netting and pitch borders, upgraded the lighting, and replaced the goals.
 
The hard work has ensured the pitch is safe, durable, and ready for community use.
 
Hackney Wick FC is part of Grassroots for Good; a charity committed to supporting grassroots football clubs. The new pitch is primarily dedicated to women’s and girls’ football, while also acting as a hub for a wide range of community football activities across Hackney.
 

“We'd like to thank both Southern Housing and Axis for their work and dedication to grassroots community football.”
