Ladies Changing at Barby Cricket Club
Rugby, , United Kingdom
First target reached!
Additional funding will be put towards our long term strategic objectives. Specifica...
Aim: To continue our goal of making cricket available for everyone we need to ensure that we have changing facilities for males and females
We are Barby Cricket Club
We are a village club who cricket and are keen that everyone who wants to get involved can do. In 2022 we hugely increased the numbers of people playing and watching. We run three senior sides on a Saturday and cricket for all age groups midweek. Next year we will have girls and boys junior sides in addition to cricket for men and women.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are proud to be at the fore front of the growth in girls and ladies cricket. Last year we had 8 of our ladies play in what used to be our all male our senior sides on Saturdays.
We are also running girls teams at u11 and u13 next year in addition to our ladies side that plays on a Monday evening. Our issue is that we are limited in terms of our changing facilities. At the moment this is a particular issue on a Saturday when we have ladies playing in the senior sides, however we see the issue growing. We urgently need to provide additional changing facilites for our ladies.
How you can play your part
There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.
1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
4. If you would like to run your own fundraiser to support us, maybe a sponsored activity or similar, use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
How we’ll spend the money raised
We will spend the money on a new temporary changing facility for use by our ladies. We estimate that this will cost £10,000 hence are looking to raise £5,000 by crowdfunding

Community impact
This facility is essential to cater for the growing population of female cricketers at the club. We will in due course look to extend our club house but currently this development is vital.
