What do they need help with?
London Rangers FC, in partnership with New Level Academy, is committed to using football and education to support young people facing challenges, especially those struggling in mainstream education or at risk of exclusion. Their services include alternative education programs, apprenticeships in sports and education, and community engagement initiatives. The organisation is also focused on addressing the housing needs of vulnerable youth, with plans to renovate on-site accommodation to provide bed spaces for those in need of stability.
As part of their mission to create lasting social impact, London Rangers FC is planning the development of a new outdoor sports facility. This facility will serve as a vital resource for their community-focused programmes, providing young people with a safe, inclusive, and fully equipped space for sports and personal development. The facility will include a full-sized, high-quality football pitch with an astro-turf surface, a pavilion with separate changing rooms, accessible toilets and showers, and amenities such as a small kitchenette and communal space. The site will also include pathways, spectator seating, green spaces for community engagement, and parking facilities for players and visitors, including accessible spaces for individuals with disabilities.
The project requires professional pro bono architectural services to bring this vision to life. The designs will need to ensure functionality for all users, sustainability in materials and energy-efficient systems, and a strong community focus. The architectural services should provide conceptual designs, detailed plans, 3D visualisations, technical specifications, and ensure regulatory compliance. The final facility will support the ongoing work of London Rangers FC, promoting social inclusion, teamwork, and youth development in an area with high youth unemployment and limited educational opportunities.
