Who are we?
Bredon CC are a grassroots cricket club that has been around since 1890. We have men’s senior teams, ladies soft ball cricket and junior teams at the club and want our facilities to be the best they can be.
Our mens senior teams plays in the Worcestershire pyramid with two sides in the structure playing every Saturday.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We reintroduced ladies cricket to the club in the 2024 season and now need to revamp our showers so all teams have access to the showers in an appropriate environment.
We would like to increase the number of showers from 4 to 8 with private cubicles for every shower to ensure personal space for all users.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The entire fundraising project will be used for the shower refurbishment. With the 2025 season already right on the doorstep, it’s likely we will be unable to start the project until October 2025 but all funds raised will be ringfenced for this project.
Community impact
The cricket club is a major part of the community. On a Friday evening through the early part of the summer, the field at the club is full of young cricketers from the age of 6-10, enjoying learning the fundamentals of cricket.
Whilst the cricket is going on, all parents are using the club to socialise, providing a focal point for anyone in the village to enjoy the British Summertime. It really is the ‘centre of the village’ on that evening.
Add to the Friday night, cricket being played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, we provide a facility for in excess of 250 people, every weekend, to socialise and enjoy the sport of cricket.
How you can play your part
There are a few simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.
1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re able to support us we would really appreciate your help because momentum is key to our success!
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and encourage the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get and the more likely we are to succeed.
3. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – 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!
