The idea
Helsby Community Sports Club is taking bold steps towards greater environmental sustainability, and we need your support to achieve our vision! Building on the success of previous eco-friendly initiatives, including solar panel installations and LED upgrades for our 3G Rugby and Football pitch, we’re now focused on reducing energy consumption further by replacing the outdated halogen floodlights on our Tennis Courts with energy-efficient LEDs. This enhancement will not only help cut operating costs, but also enable reinvestment into our facilities and community, all while reducing our carbon footprint. By backing this project, you’ll be supporting a greener future for Helsby Community Sports Club, creating a lasting positive impact on the environment and setting a powerful example of sustainability for generations to come. Join us in making a meaningful difference—let’s illuminate the path to a brighter, more eco-friendly future together.
