Creating healthy people, a healthy economy, a healthy environment and healthy organisations
Covidfund: The Final Push! joined: Crowdfund Shropshire 2 years ago
Wellington Cricket Club have already raised 80% of their £10,000 target to off-set the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are now appealing to sponsors and local business in one Final Push!
We are now just £2,000 away from hitting our Covidfund total, which will help us overcome the short-term financial shock of the pandemic on the cricket club and the considerable costs of re-opening the club safely in July. So far the burden of off-setting the impact of COVID-19 has been shouldered by the club's membership who have shown great spirit and imagination to raise an incredible £8,000 in just three months. Now we are politely asking for the help of sponsors, local businesses and generous benefactors to help get us over the line. Once we have hit our target, the club will be donating the equivilent of 10% of the total to two of our long-standing supported charities: Severn Hospice and Teenage Cancer Trust.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
If we hit our target, we will be able to put the pandemic behind us and concentrate on delivering as much cricket as possible for local men, women, boys and girls from 2021 onwards.

VolunteerWellington Cricket Club is one of the largest community sports clubs in Shropshire.
Established in 1947, the Club’s picturesque home in the shadow of the iconic Wrekin has grown from the cliched cowshed to a large cricket facility with a modern two-story pavilion, bar and changing facilities, two playing fields, and dedicated practice nets. These days the club offers cricketing opportunities for men, women, boys and girls of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
Wellington have an ECB Clubmark and compete in the Shropshire County Cricket League, where we field five senior sides, and in the Shropshire Cricket Board’s ladies and junior competitions.
We are proud to be a thriving part of the market town of Wellington and welcome new visitors, supporters and members from the local area to come along to Orleton Park and get involved.
