Future plans Our main focus this year is to upgrade our changing facilities, summary below: The proposal by Hawick United AFC is to revamp part of the existing changing room building of the club (named The Derek Ramage Pavilion) into a versatile club function suite. This transformation will support both the club's operational needs as well as community engagement initiatives. Some of the current changing rooms will remain, with the conversion of some currently unused areas of the building coinciding with the introduction of green energy to enhance the changing facilities.

The club currently has connections with 3 of the youth teams in the town and since the very beginning of the club we have been committed to playing an integral role in fostering local talent and promoting football within the community. The current changing room facility is underutilised and offers a unique opportunity for redevelopment that can benefit not only the club but also the wider community.
