About Us

Shaw Lane provides high quality facilities for recreation or other leisure time activities for everyone. Sports based at our 18 acre site include rugby, squash, cricket, archery, football, bowling and road running.

Shaw Lane Sports Club is a multi-sport centre which sits in a 15 acre site in a town centre environment. Besides the usual sporting opportunities that are available to the public such as cricket, rugby, football etc, there are a number of organisations which work with the local community who use the site and provide services and activities for a wide range of vulnerable and hard to reach groups.

The Shaw Lane Foundation takes care of the infrastructure needs of these partner organisations and also promotes use of the site through its own activities. The purpose of the charity is to manage and utilise the site as effectively as possible so that the potential of both the site and its users is maximised to benefit the whole community. Outreach work is equally important with many activities taking place in the heart of the community that we serve

We take pride in offering projects and activities that support local people who may be at disadvantage. To that end we currently have projects to support Disabled people, people on low income, families struggling with the cost of living, older people, isolated people, and people with mental ill health
