Our commitment to reforestation continues....
This month, we've:
• Planted 151 trees
• Supported the Plant to Stop Poverty project in Tanzania
• Captured an estimated 15,100kg of CO₂
That brings our total impact to:
• 2,044 trees planted
• 19,200m² restored – equivalent to 28.5 tennis courts!
• 144.14 tonnes of CO₂ absorbed over the trees' lifetime
Every tree helps support biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and combat climate change. We're proud to be making a positive impact and look forward to sharing more updates as our forest grows.

Another successful CocoTurf installation over in Germany!
This outdoor #Calisthenics area features CocoTurf installed over our ChildsPlay safer surfacing system, combining a natural aesthetic with the safety performance required to achieve the necessary Critical Fall Height protection.
Designed to withstand intensive use while blending seamlessly into its surroundings, the finished surface provides a durable, low-maintenance solution for active outdoor recreation and fitness.
A fantastic project and a great example of how safety, performance and design can work together to create outstanding outdoor spaces.

Working alongside @BinghamGround, we’ve transformed this wooded trim trail area with the installation of our CocoTurf playground surface and ChildsPlay safety system.
Made from natural coconut fibres, CocoTurf provides a plastic-free surfacing solution that blends seamlessly into natural environments while delivering the impact protection needed for active play.
The finished space now offers pupils a safe, durable and engaging outdoor play area that complements the surrounding woodland setting perfectly.
A fantastic project to be part of from start to finish!

Notts Sport has successfully completed the refurbishment of a brand-new FA Register 3G football pitch at One Leisure St Neots, delivering a modern, all-weather sports facility designed to support grassroots football and year-round community use in Cambridgeshire.
Funded by Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC), the project was delivered under HDC’s direction, with Notts Sport appointed to project manage the refurbishment works and by Bernhards Sports Surfaces who completed the transformation of the ageing facility into a 3G football pitch.
The original facility was installed more than 20 years ago and initially operated as tennis courts before later being converted into a sand-filled multi-use games area (MUGA). Over time, the surface had become heavily worn, with damaged seams, deterioration to the underlying shockpad and areas of unevenness affecting both playability and safety.
As the pitch is now used exclusively for football, there was no longer a requirement for a sand-dressed multi-sport surface. The decision was therefore made to upgrade the facility to a dedicated 3G football pitch, providing a significantly improved playing experience.
The refurbishment included the installation of a FIFA Quality specification 3G artificial grass system across the 1,795m² playing area, alongside a new performance shockpad to enhance player comfort and surface performance. While the facility is not large enough to undergo official FIFA certification testing, the surface has been independently tested to FA Register standards, ensuring it meets the performance requirements for grassroots football use.
The project also involved targeted base repairs to address existing undulations, replacement rebound boards and fencing upgrades, as well as new inlaid line markings for small-sided football.
The completed facility now provides local clubs, schools and community users with a reliable, high-quality artificial football pitch capable of supporting intensive use throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.
Natalie Taylor from One Leisure St Neots commented: “We’re absolutely delighted with the transformation of our new 3G facility. The pitch looks incredible and provides a fantastic environment for our customers, clubs and community groups to enjoy football all year round. The quality of the surface is outstanding and we’re excited to see the community making full use of it.”
The project reflects Notts Sport’s continued expertise in the design and delivery of artificial grass sports facilities across the UK, helping leisure operators and local authorities upgrade ageing infrastructure and create future-ready environments for sport and recreation.

Notts Sport was proud to once again sponsor the @EnglandHockey School Championships, continuing its long-standing support of one of the most important competitions in the schools’ hockey calendar.
Running across several months, the Championships see schools from across the country compete through regional and knockout stages, culminating in a series of national finals held at venues including the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre. The competition provides a structured and aspirational pathway for young players, while maintaining a strong focus on participation and development.
Across both the boys’ and girls’ competitions, the standard of play throughout the finals stages was consistently high. Players demonstrated excellent technical ability, teamwork and composure, reflecting the quality of coaching and commitment within school hockey programmes nationwide.
In the boys’ competition, Whitgift School secured a notable triple, winning the U14 Cup, U16 Cup and U18 Cup. The girls’ competition delivered equally strong performances with Surbiton High winning the U14 Cup and the U16 and U18 Plate.
Alongside the Cup competitions, Plate, Shield, Trophy and Vase events ensured broad participation, giving players of all levels the opportunity to compete in a national finals environment. This structure is central to the continued growth and accessibility of the game.
For many participants, the Championships represent an important step in their development, offering valuable experience in a high-pressured setting and supporting progression within the sport.
Congratulations to all teams, whose teamwork and determination were a credit to their schools.
Mark Wood, Head of Marketing at Notts Sport, said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue our support of the England Hockey School Championships. Grassroots sport is at the heart of everything we do, and ensuring hockey continues to thrive at school level is essential for the future of the game.
The standard on display at these finals is always exceptional, not just in terms of talent, but the passion and commitment shown by every player. It’s a privilege for Notts Sport to help create these opportunities and support the next generation of hockey talent.”
Notts Sport’s ongoing partnership with England Hockey reflects its commitment to supporting grassroots sport and investing in the future of hockey. Through the design and installation of high-quality hockey surfaces, Notts Sport continues to play a role in creating environments where players can develop and perform at their best.
