Who are we?
Sturminster and Hinton Cricket Club is a vibrant, community-focused cricket club nestled in the heart of Dorset. We're a friendly and inclusive club, welcoming players of all ages and abilities, from seasoned cricketers to those picking up a bat for the first time. We pride ourselves on our family atmosphere and our commitment to providing a fun and supportive environment for everyone to enjoy the sport. We're more than just a cricket club; we're a vital part of the local community, fostering friendships and promoting healthy living.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We're crowdfunding to raise funds for essential improvements to our club facilities. Specifically, we need to replace our aging and unsafe ground equipment. Upgrading our ground equipment will ensure we can maintain a high-quality playing surface, vital for the enjoyment and safety of all participants.
This project is eligible for potential match funding as it directly addresses the need to improve grassroots sports facilities, enabling wider participation and promoting community well-being. By investing in these improvements, we're not just enhancing our club, we're investing in the future of cricket in our area.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We're committed to being transparent about how your generous donations will be used.
Every pound raised will go directly towards these crucial improvements, ensuring our club can continue to thrive and provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our members.
