For playing fields to fulfil their potential as valued community assets, they have to offer good quality facilities that encourage participation and use by all sectors of the community. For this reason, FIT's work to improve the quality of outdoor recreational space will always be a priority and why we actively support initiatives to maximise the potential of playing fields for everyone's benefit.
We work to improve fields through;
- provision of expert technical advice on facility improvements
- direct financial support through sourcing funding for improvements
- fundraising advice
- carrying out technical assessments of the quality of sports pitches
- providing specifications for pitch improvements including drainage
- FIT publications - these provide best practice and advice on managing, maintaining and improving playing fields.
