About this cause

The Association carries out day to day management and raises funds to improve facilities in the Play Area at Higher Road, Woolavington and the Sports Field in Sedgemoor Way, Woolavington. The Play Area was successfully refurbished two years ago with modern equipment and is extensively used by young people and their parents from Woolavington and surrounding villages. It won the Somerset Playing Fields' Association for best play area in Somerset in 2015 and 16. We are now concentrating on improving facilities in the Sports Field to provide sporting and recreational opportunities for local people of all ages including a multi use games area, a football pitch, a skateboard park, a running track and indoor facilities such as skittles and badminton by way of an extension to the pavilion.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Woolavington lost its social hub with the closure of its only public house 18 months ago. It is also lacking in quality recreational and sporting facilities for a village in excess of 2,000 inhabitants. The project which will be phased over two or more years will be a major step in meeting this identified need and provide community cohesion.
