BRAND NEW 102 COVERED MODULAR SEATING INSTALLED IN THE FOOTBALL GROUND AT WELFARE PARK.

Horden Community Welfare Football Club are absolutely delighted to announce the brand-new modular seating system arrived at the football ground on Tuesday 23 May. This has been 2-3 years in the planning but it is now here and it looks brilliant.

The covered seating system comprises of 102 seats and a raised ramp with access for 2 wheelchair users, offering an elevated view of the pitch.

With the addition of the new covered seating HCWFC will now be able to offer improved match-day facilities and resources for our supporters and visitors. Hopefully, it will not be too long before the new covered standing terraced areas are in place.

As a grassroots community-based football club and charity HCWFC warmly welcome all visitors and supporters who attend and watch football matches at the home of the Marra’s at Welfare Park.

Community Beach Clean

A team of volunteers including residents, Horden Together staff, and representatives from Seascapes got together to tackle the rubbish at Horden Beach Friday 23rd June.

We managed to collect 15 bags of rubbish, including a large plastic fish box and pieces of old mining conveyor belt. This is now off the beach, so it won’t end up in the sea damaging marine habitats, injuring animals, and ending up in the food chain.

HCWFC are extremely grateful to the Football Foundation and Horden Parish Council for ensuring the facilities and resources within the football ground at Welfare Park are to the highest standard, and once the covered standing areas are in place, suitable for meeting Northern League and FA Ground Regulation Standards for Tier 6 of the National Pyramid System.

The Clerk of Horden Parish Council added “Horden Parish Council as Trustee of Horden Recreation Ground registered Charity is pleased to be able to continue to support grassroots football in our community. We would also like to acknowledge the continued support of our Durham County Councillors Isabel Roberts and Ian Mclean who have contributed funding to the scheme. We are sure residents have noticed the change to the football stand and hope that many will use the facility in coming seasons”.

Thank you to all the volunteers who took part.
