Eco Cricket: Mowing Towards a Greener Future

Our community

Codsall Cricket Club is a proper community. Families gather here. Kids find their confidence. Friends become teammates. From our youngest All Stars to seniors, this is a place where people belong and grow together.

Over the last few years our club has expanded quicker than anyone expected. More than 200 children now train and play with us, and our women’s section is thriving. The ground is buzzing most evenings in summer. Cricket truly belongs to everyone here.

The challenge

Growth is brilliant… but it brings pressure. More players means more matches, more training and more wear on the square. Our old petrol mower is loud, unreliable and expensive to run. It’s also stopping us from cutting our carbon footprint properly.

And when the grass isn’t right, games get cancelled. That means disappointed kids who have been looking forward to cricket all week.

The total project cost is £6,918 and if we can raise half of this (£3,459) through this Crowdfunder campaign, Sport England will support us with the final 50%

Our green solution

We want to switch to electric mowers so we can look after our pitches better and play more cricket. Cleaner. Quieter. Better for the planet and our neighbours.

Electric mowers will mean:

• More regular cuts and better pitch quality

• Fewer last-minute cancellations that let everyone down

• Reduced carbon and fuel costs

• A safer, quieter club for future generations

What we need

We’re raising £3,459 to purchase electric mowers and make this happen.

Every donation helps us to:

• Give juniors more chances to play

• Keep our women’s teams competing at home

• Create a greener community space for families to enjoy

The future we’re creating

Cricket has a special way of bringing people together. With your support, we can keep this club thriving, protect our environment and make sure everyone who wants to play has the chance.

Help us mow towards a greener future.
