On the 12th March 2024 we'd raised £10,093 with 64 supporters in 69 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We are seeking to raise £10,000 to address the immediate need for constructing essential toilets at our cricket ground. Any surplus funds beyond our initial goal will be judiciously allocated towards enhancing our facilities, including the development of a clubhouse, changing rooms for males, females, and kids, outdoor nets, coaching facilities, covers, boundary ropes, and other infrastructure improvements. Your support will not only meet an urgent requirement but also contribute to the overall growth and excellence of Spartans Cricket Club.
Introduction: Welcome to the Spartans Cricket Club, a thriving community hub for cricket enthusiasts in Essex. We are more than a cricket club; we are a passionate community fostering love for the sport and promoting inclusivity. As we embark on our journey to elevate our facilities and outreach programs, we invite you to be a crucial part of our story.
About Us: Spartans Cricket Club formed in 2019 has been a cornerstone of cricket in Essex, boasting three adult teams and dynamic youth programs such as All Stars and Dynamos for kids aged 5-11. We are not just building a cricket club; we are cultivating an environment where cricket becomes a catalyst for personal growth, teamwork, and community spirit.
Our Vision: Our vision extends beyond the boundary ropes. We are committed to developing our ground with essential amenities like toilets, a clubhouse, changing rooms, and outdoor nets. These improvements are not just for our players but for the entire community—making cricket accessible to kids, women, families, and local businesses.
We're on a mission to revolutionize our cricketing experience by crowdfunding for the construction of much-needed toilets. The current facilities are not only unhygienic but also unusable, posing a challenge, especially for our kids during matches and coaching sessions. Join us in ensuring a clean and comfortable environment for all, as we pledge to have brand-new toilets ready before the 2024 cricket season kicks off. Your support transforms discomfort into convenience, making every cricket moment enjoyable and inclusive.
We are seeking to raise £10,000 to address the immediate need for constructing essential toilets at our cricket ground. Our initial £10,000 target will be sufficient to enable the project to start. The money will therefore go directly towards construction with the aim to start prior to the 2024 season. However to fully fund the clubhouse work we will need more, for which we will require additional fundraising rounds in future
Your support will not only meet an urgent requirement but also contribute to the overall growth and excellence of Spartans Cricket Club.

4. Health and Well-being: The development of our facilities, including the construction of new toilets, addresses a fundamental health need. These facilities benefit everyone in the community, ensuring a hygienic and accessible environment not only during cricket matches but also during community events and gatherings.
5. Economic Impact: As a community hub, Spartans Cricket Club stimulates the local economy. Local businesses, from vendors during matches to nearby eateries, experience increased activity, creating a positive economic ripple effect.
6. Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives: Embracing Every Community Member
At Spartans Cricket Club, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel welcome and valued. Recognizing the importance of diversity, we have taken deliberate steps to encourage participation from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups.
Engagement Strategies:
Marketing Campaigns: We have actively engaged in marketing campaigns tailored to reach diverse communities. This includes the distribution of flyers at schools and community hubs in Dagenham, specifically targeting areas with a significant BAME population.
Free Beginner Coaching Sessions: Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond promotional efforts. Spartans CC has organized free beginner coaching sessions in Valence park Dagenham, area known for their diverse communities. These sessions provided a welcoming space for individuals of all ethnic backgrounds to explore and enjoy the sport.
Collaborations with Local Schools: We are currently in positive discussions with several schools in Dagenham to establish collaborations aimed at delivering cricket sessions. By partnering with educational institutions, we aim to introduce the joy of cricket to young minds from various ethnic backgrounds.
Our vision goes beyond creating a successful cricket club; we aspire to be a community hub that celebrates diversity, bringing people together through the universal language of sport. Your support will help us continue these impactful initiatives, fostering unity and breaking down barriers in the world of cricket.
