The idea
Our project is a run/walk from Workington cricket club in Cumbria to the Lords cricket ground in London. We aim to do this by covering the miles using STRAVA. This will be achieved by various members/players/fans of the club logging and tracking their miles via the strava app. This not only promotes exercise and good health but will also be benificla for mental health during this tough time period caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We will use the funds generated from the project to help provide PPE for staff and members alike, help with the running of the club and providing new equipment for junior and senior times in order to ensure we provide a first class service to our community.
What we'll deliver
- fund new cricket equipment for senior and junior teams
- Provide PPE for staff and safe working conditions in response to COVID-19
- Help with ground maintenance costs
Why it's a great idea
