Funding & Facilities

The SCB Cricket Development Team can help provide advice and guidance on any facility developments you may have at your club, as well as how to finance the developments.  It is important to note that ECB have written Technical Specifications for Outfields and Squares, Non Turf Pitches and Nets, Pavilions & Clubhouses and Indoor Provision (see www.ecb.co.uk/development/facilities-funding/technical-specifications/ for more information) and many funding sources will require you to follow these guidelines.  For more information please contact your Cricket Development Manager

There are various funding bodies out there that are open to cricket clubs.  Often the key to obtaining funding is to evidence the way in which your application will benefit young people or community groups.
