On the 24th October 2020 we'd raised £1,075 with 18 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
All money raised in our stretch target will be solely for youth cricket training equipment.
Uley Cricket club is an important part of the village and over the last few years the club has been going from strength to strength. We now have a strong player base which has enabled the club to thrive in the Stroud and District Premier league over the last few seasons.
Our vision is to rebuild the youth section at the club to ensure a steady flow of players into the senior sides, to create a family environment for everyone to play cricket and for families feel the club is safe environment where they can socialise aswell as play competitive sport.
For 3 seasons the club have run the All Stars Cricket programme for 5 - 8 year old's which has been a huge success with over a 100 children attending, in addition it has attracted several new families and players to get involved and support the club.
Over the last few seasons the club has spent wisely on new equipment to include a catching cradle, new practice net for the square and covers which were part funded by the ECB.
The money raised via crowd funding will give the club financial stability for the coming seasons but also enable us to invest in youth team cricket kit, a new mower for the square, new cricket wickets, a boundary rope, new scoreboard and an investment in practice facilities to attract more players to the club.
