North Greenford Football Club understands the importance of Carbon reduction and are beginning their Carbon reduction journey to make the football club more sustainable for future generations.
Working in partnership with the FA Football foundation North Greenford Football Club are looking to upgrade their Halogen Flood lights to new energy efficient LED's. The football foundation are able to provide grants for up to 70% of the cost however this still leaves 30% which the football club need to contribute. The football club is becoming more sustainable and reducing their carbon factor which is extremely important to the new committee. This is one of a number of carbon initiatives the new committee are driving forwards. Upgrading the flood light fittings will save circa 28 Tonnes kilos of CO2e/100,000 kwh of energy during the products life span . In conjunction with the carbon saving this will also save up to 60% on the clubs energy bills.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
We pride ourselves on being a community based football club. The club, ground and facilities are used by many local organisations and teams. We are working as a committee to upgrading the facilities to enhance the users experience and become more sustainable to help the environment. As part of the progressive upgrades we are making the club more sustainable. Replacing the 20+ years old Halogen Flood lights with new LED's reduces the amount of energy used therefore reducing the luminaire Carbon output and additionally saves the club energy costs.

VolunteerNorth Greenford United Football Club were founded in 1944. We have had a successful 78-year history within the football leagues. Currently our home games are played at Berkely Fields Football Ground (UB6).
We are affiliated to the Middlesex Football Association, also members of the Combined Counties League Football League, Premier Division North and the Allied Counties Youth League East Division.
Our first team finished the 22/23 season in 6th position in the league (Combined counties Step 5), also making it to the final of the Middlesex Premier Cup, Quarter finals of the Middlesex Charity Cup and FA Cup third preliminary round. This was a remarkable achievement with the squad of an average age of 22.
The club is renowned for playing an exciting, attacking style of football. This was demonstrated through scoring 126 goals in all competitions, entertaining the crowds at Berkley Fields.
North Greenford also have a successful Under 18s youth team who won their Allied Counties Youth Football League as well as coming runners up in league cup and county cup competitions.
Our short-term ambition is to get the first team promoted to Step 4 in the football pyramid in the 23/24 season. Whilst also continuing to develop the under 18 team ensuring the next crop of young footballers are ready for the step up to the first team.
Our long-term ambition (5 years) is to get the first team promoted to Step 3 and be stable within the division. Also to have an Under 23 team to assist with the transition from Under 18s to First team.
