NORWICH City FC's official charity partner, the Community Sports Foundation, helps more than 38,000 people every year to achieve their goals through sport.

round solution to accommodate the young people participating in its residential sporting camps on site. It had struggled to offer quality on-site accommodation for the youngsters. It approached eco-classrooms, which
provides eco-friendly timber framed modular buildings to the education and healthcare sector. The company designs and builds structures that are architecturally and individually designed to meet their clients’ needs. The brief for eco-classrooms was to
create something that was light and airy, that provided warmth and comfort all year round and also offered a sense of fun and excitement. Eco-classrooms’ solution was to develop

the interior layouts to suit each customer’s needs. It’s an adaptable option that morphs well to create a luxury lodges or family room layout kitchenette area for example,” says McKay. “This is a great flexible group space.
Children can really embrace the joys of nature’s outdoor classroom without having to return to a squelchy tent or damp caravan at the end of a rainy cold day. Instead there’s a comfy warm bed waiting for them.”
