Bringing period dignity to your cricket club
ECB and Initial Washroom Hygiene (Initial) are working together to bring period dignity for grassroots cricket.
We have a shared ambition to ensure that menstruation is not something that holds women and girls back from getting involved in sports – this is all part of making cricket the most inclusive team sport in the UK.
The ECB and Initial are supplying In Cubicle Period Dignity Dispensers to ECB affiliated cricket clubs with a girls’ or women's section* in England and Wales, along with the servicing of period waste bins – free of charge.
Who can apply?
The offer is open to a limited amount of affiliated cricket clubs with a girls' or women's section*. Deadline 19 May 2025. APPLY HERE.
*Clubs with a girls’ or women's section are defined as having a minimum of one girls' or women's team playing soft ball or hard ball cricket, league or friendly, indoors, or outdoors as evidenced on Play-Cricket or captured via the County Women’s & Girls’ Clubs & Teams Audit in 2023/24.
In addition to the above definition, a club named and listed as a target club to set up a new women’s and or girl’s section within your 2025 W&G Operational Plan, will also be eligible in this window.
