BALA, GWYNEDD, WALES – 9th FEBRUARY 2023 – A general view of Maes Tegid before Bala Town vs The New Saints in Round 24 of the JD Cymru Premier Phase 2 Championship Conference at Maes Tegid, Bala (Pic by Sam Eaden\/FAW)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located in Gwynedd, Bala Town FC applied to the Cymru Football Foundation\u2019s Fit-For-Future Facilities Fund <\/em>with the aim of considerably reducing the club\u2019s running costs through upgrading their floodlights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Fit-For-Future Facilities Fund allows the club to receive a grant of just under \u00a340,000 to upgrade their existing halogen bulbs to LED – providing more long-term environmental and financial sustainability, giving the club the opportunity to re-invest their savings into further facility improvement at Maes Tegid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bala also ground-share with a number of local grassroots clubs including Ruthin Town and Denbigh Town, meaning the investment will also provide benefits to the local community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CFF\u2019s Fit-For-Future Facilities Fund ties into the FAW\u2019s overall Sustainability Strategy, to further reduce the country\u2019s carbon footprint and reduce energy costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Fit-For-Future Facilities fund is currently open and clubs, local authorities and charitable organisations can apply by clicking her<\/strong><\/a>e<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
