Why are we crowdfunding?
The Club faced a near-devastating threat during the pandemic, but thanks to the dedication of a small group of volunteers and the support of Surrey Foundation, we have managed to persevere. A heartfelt thank you.
Now, as we look ahead, we are seeking funding for critical developments. Kenley CC has invested nearly £40k in the past four years, channelling funds into essential upgrades such as a new batting cage, Flix wickets, improvements to the bar/pavilion, square enhancements, and overall ground improvements. While the majority of these projects received grant and sponsorship funding, the club contributed approximately 25% of the costs.

Community impact
Our current initiative involves the installation of an non turf wicket and nets facilities on the grounds, aimed at accommodating the needs of our expanding membership at Kenley. This strategic enhancement will not only bolster our ties with local schools but also provide these facilities to them, contributing to the overall goal of increasing sports participation in the local area.
