The Trust is looking to realise a major project entitled ‘Sporting Club Thamesmead’, which seeks to provide new sport and leisure facilities for the whole community on the redeveloped site of Thamesmead Town Football Club (postcode SE28 8NJ). The new sports hub will provide flexible accommodation for a number of activities based around full sized grass and synthetic turf pitches, two multi use games areas and indoor activity spaces.

The new facilities we are aiming to develop at Sporting Club Thamesmead (on the current Thamesmead Town FC site) have been designed to reinforce the open nature of the site and create a modern, high quality community focused resource. Sporting Club Thamemead will be easily accessible to all, providing a range of sporting activities, social and community facilites, as well as improving the enjoyment of participating in Thamesmead Town Football Club, whether simply watching the games, playing or coaching. The sustainable design seeks to enhance the ecology and biodiversity of the site through landscaping, green roofs and energy conservation. The site will provide improved parking for visitors and also reduce impact on local residents by providing improved and larger car parking sensitively landscaped to compliment the Park. This is an exciting and forward thinking project which we are hoping will engage Thamesmead’s vibrant local community. It forms a part of the wider plans and vision for Thamesmead lead by Trust Thamesmead and its partners as we strive to improve local community facilities across Thamesmead.
