The pilot England & Wales Cricket Trust (EWCT) ‘Go Green’ Club Fund has now closed and is unable to accept any further applications
The England & Wales Cricket Trust agreed to support a pilot grant aid scheme, which ran in conjunction with NatWest CricketForce 2008.
The ‘Go Green’ Club Fund was open to all ECB affiliated Clubs who registered for, and participated in, NatWest CricketForce in 2008.
The fund was designed to promote the concept of cricket clubs ‘going green’ and to support the UK’s short target to reduce CO2 omissions by 20 per cent by 2010.
All projects had to evidence an environmental theme and/or improve energy efficiency.
Examples of the type of project that could be supported included:
- Solar Panels
- Wind Turbines
- Low energy lighting
- Improved thermal efficiency of walls, windows and roofs
- Installation of energy efficient products e.g. boilers
- Provision of bicycle storage
- Water conservation
- Composting / Recycling Schemes
Grants could not exceed 75 per cent of the total project costs and were limited to a maximum of £10,000 per club.
