The idea
The COVID-19 lockdown has had a big impact on Bournemouth Cricket Club. We have suffered a huge loss of income due to loss of advertising revenue, no food or bar sales, no fundraising events, no membership or match-day subs. Despite this, we still have bills to pay including insurance, ground rent and pitch maintenance. To be able to continue to provide cricket for the local community we need your help to meet some of these costs. Money that you donate will be matched by the England & Wales Cricket Board so please give generously! We hope to see cricket back at Chapel Gate soon.
What we'll deliver
- 3 cricket pitches ready for play when lockdown is lifted
- Training nets for club members use
- Training sessions for adult and juniors
- Reintroduce our thriving community spirit
Why it's a great idea
Why it's a great idea:
The lockdown has had a huge impact on people's physical and mental well-being. Cricket is a great form of exercise for people of all ages and we want to be able to offer this again as soon as restrictions are lifted. We have a thriving junior membership and no doubt they will all be keen to get back to their sport. For some of our single adult members, lockdown by themselves has been a really tough time, to provide support through the club community is vital.
Steps to get it done
- Provide pitches and equipment ready to play on when lockdown is eased
