Flooding Support and Advice for Cricket clubs
ECB Flooding Support and Advice
The ECB recognises that flooding can have a devastating impact on cricket clubs, whether it be significant damage to buildings and machinery or deposits of sediment and waste on outfields and squares. If there are any clubs that have been badly affected by the recent floods please note the following support and advice that is available through ECB:
If there are any clubs that are suffering as a result of recent floods, please do reach out and I will be very happy to work through the advice above with you.
Sport England Emergency Support
Sport England have issued emergency support for clubs with facilities affected by storm damage:
Emergency Funding available for Storm damaged Facilities
Organisations with facilities – such as clubhouses, courts and pitches – affected by the recent storms can now apply for grants of up to £15,000 after we added an emergency storm damage option to our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Activity Fund.
The money could be used to repair storm-damaged building and roofs, grass and artificial pitches, decontaminate flooded clubhouses, replace damaged electrical systems or clear blocked drains.
Other items needed may include the hire of skips, pressure hoses or tarpaulins to secure exposed buildings (for use only when safe to do so).
For more information, follow the link above.
Please also note that any clubs feeling they need support should contact Sport England first before contacting ECB.
