PRESS RELEASE
Sussex County Cricket Club Boost for local cricket clubs in Sussex with EWCT Small Grant Scheme Monday 13th April 2015
Local cricket clubs across Sussex have received a financial boost with the news that £80,000 has been invested into facilities at 30 clubs, thanks to the England & Wales Cricket Trust Small Grant Scheme, supported by Waitrose.
The aim of the ‘EWCT Small Grant Scheme 2015 – supported by Waitrose’ was to help create a sustainable future for affiliated cricket clubs.
The scheme in Sussex, whereby the Sussex Cricket Board is responsible for distributing the money, has helped support clubs to make small changes to improve their long term sustainability, to save or raise money and to reduce operating costs.
With the contribution from Waitrose, clubs applied for help with projects involving kitchens and indoor and outdoor social areas to help clubs become the heart of their local community. The clubs benefitting from the scheme are – Ansty, Billingshurst, Brighton & Hove, Chippingdale, Denton, East Grinstead, Eastbourne, Findon, Gildredge, Goodwood, Hadlow Down, Hailsham, Herstmonceux, Horsham, Horsham Trinity, Lindfield, Pagham, Portslade, Robertsbridge, Rottingdean, Seaford, Smallfield, Southwater, St. Peters, Uckfield, Waldron & West Wittering
