A Participatory Design Workshop was held on Thursday 10th October 2019 at the Kick4Life Centre to create a wish list for the project. 27 participants, consisting of volunteers, players, staff members, and more, discussed ideas and ambitions for the new development. These were then passed to the partners working on the project, who have designed the new facility to make these initial ideas a reality.
On Thursday 20th February 2020, the Stadium of Life official launch took place at Google headquarters in London. The event featured speakers from across the globe ranging from the owners of the No.7 restaurant, architects from the In Loco Design and Build programme, video messages from the local community and more.
