A Game Changer Kitchen Makeover with Lichfield City FC

This game changer makeover with Lichfield City FC shows how we transformed a clubhouse into a hub for the local community. This provides their City Ground stadium with new revenue streams and allows them to host events outside of football. New cabinetry in a bright finish and clever technology bring this clubhouse right up-to-date. Durable surfaces and a low-maintenance sink were chosen thanks to the easy-to-clean properties, which reduce upkeep and make cleaning up post-game hassle-free. Championing the importance of grassroots sport, this club is a testament to the transformational power of the Game Changer Programme.

Playing in the Midland Football Leagues, Lichfield City FC are an amateur football club based just outside of Birmingham. With a 1,500 capacity stadium, the City Ground hosts a variety of teams, including 35 junior teams and four senior teams.

Making the difference

Untapped potential

Lichfield City FC wanted to turn this small space into a place fit for matchdays and local events. With regular groups of players, parents, and fans, they needed a multi-functional area to make half-time meals or drinks.
A change of formation

The club's new cooking facilities have a glossy finish, chosen to make the compact space feel big and bright. Meanwhile, integrated tech leaves counters free for making post-match snacks.

“To be recognised by Howdens and the FA is a real privilege to everyone here at our club. It’s brilliant to see that they understand how important local clubs are to the community.”

1. Contemporary cabinetry

To combat the lack of space and natural light, the club chose white cabinetry in a glossy finish. This makes the room appear big and bright.

2. Easy accessibility

Integrated handle cupboards keep a clean, unobtrusive profile, whilst ensuring the cupboards make it quick to access essentials when busy.

3. Grab a glass

The new facilities allow the club to host community events outside of football. So, they picked a handy wine rack to ensure bottles are always close to hand.
