Grants Available For Cricket Clubs Through The ECB For Electric Mowers

Did you know that there are grants available for cricket clubs interested in purchasing a battery powered cylinder mower in the UK.

The County Grants Fund aims to support affiliated cricket clubs to create welcoming environments, provide enhanced facilities and playing opportunities, and to help clubs tackle the impact of climate change.

Grants are available up to £10,000 on purchases of an electric mower.

The scheme is open to all ECB affiliated cricket clubs in England and Wales. Grants for electric mowers will be covered under the climate change grant. The scheme is funded by the England and Wales Cricket Trust (EWCT), a wholly owned charitable subsidiary of England and Wales Cricket Board Limited (ECB).

GGM are proud supporters of green initiatives and we are excited to be able to offer our cricket club customers the range of professional electric mowers from Dennis:

ES-34R Battery Rotary mower 

ES-36 Battery cylinder mower 

ES-860 Battery cylinder mower

Clubs may apply for up to one grant per ECB budget year (which runs from 1 February – 31 January). Clubs will not be able to apply for a second grant for the same project before 2025.

Each application will be assessed on its own merit. Clubs can typically apply for between £1,000 (minimum) and £10,000 (maximum) per application. The grant may not be used to retrospectively fund projects. The amount of grant offered may differ from that requested by the Club. Each CCB has a pre-determined budget so the amount of funding they allocate may vary.

Key Dates

The scheme will be open to applications from 1 February 2023 – 30 November 2023 (or until the funding runs out, whichever is first). All projects must be completed and the grant claimed before the 31 January 2024.
