Formby Cricket and Club LED Floodlight Project

Who are we:

We are Community Amateur Sports Club which provides cricket, hockey and football facilities.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We have a floodlit artificial pitch which caters for the hockey section of our sports club and football training/playing facilities for the local community. It is used by approximately 600 local people per week. Our floodlight system uses a lot of energy and with rising electricity costs it is becoming difficult for us to continue to run the facility without passing on these costs to our users (who already contribute to the running of the facility). The new system will also reduce our energy consumption/carbon footrint

How we’ll spend the money raised

We will spend the money to converting our current halide floodlighting system to a modern, energy efficient LED system

Community impact

It will help us continue to function as a sports club by reducing our costs which are becoming prohibitive which, in turn, will benefit all the people who use it on a weekly basis
