Connecting our Community through Cricket
Cranleigh, Surrey, United Kingdom
Aim
We have raised a staggering £1.4M from grants and generous members BUT we please still urgently need your help to raise another £100,000.
Who are we?
Established in 1856, Cranleigh Cricket Club is a busy Club at the heart of the community playing a large part in the Summer sports calendar and in developing youth sports and activity. This historic cricket club is an important sporting and social asset to the Cranleigh community for both adults and children and welcomes all new playing and social members.
We’re a friendly and inclusive club, with several teams in both junior and senior leagues and we’re strong believers in playing fairly, within the spirit of the game – so much so, that we’re proud to say that we won the Surrey Championship Fair Play League in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2023!
Why are we crowdfunding?
We’re raising funds to develop an incredible new clubhouse on Cranleigh Common!
In line with our 5 Year Vision and in service of the Cranleigh Community, we are aiming to raise funds sufficient to enable the delivery of a beautiful new clubhouse with modern playing and social facilities which will be available to the community.
The thoughtful and contemporary design means improved playing and social facilities offering playing members and the community a safe and inclusive destination from where the whole family can be encouraged to participate in community sport, socialise and feel welcome.
PLEASE support this exciting and transformational project!
In the last 18 months our small group of volunteer committee members have already raised a staggering £1,4M but with inflationary rises, increased cost of materials due to conflicts in other parts of the world, enhancements made to the specification of our build to comply with recent Sport England guidelines, and recently identified subsidence issues, we need your help to raise an additional £100,000 towards the overall funding gap.
As a reminder, our overall ambition for this project includes the following improvements:
- Changing rooms for our girls and women - our current facility is inappropriate.
- All new changing rooms will be compliant in line with ECB guidelines - our current rooms are small.
- Dedicated Umpire changing and shower facility.
- Increased hospitality areas enabling the Club to both support local community projects, and to raise operational funds through hire opportunities.
- Modern kitchen and welfare facilities to improve the experience for all - playing and social members from the community.
- A fully accessible building for all abilities.
- Improved aesthetics for our neighbours who live around the Common and for visitors entering Cranleigh High Street.
