The Cricket World Cup Club Fund is replacing the ECB Small Grant
Scheme for 2019. The Fund aims to support clubs engaged in the Cricket
World Cup Club Programme, who want to enhance their facilities by
improving digital capacity or catering provision. 2,350 affiliated clubs
that are eligible will be allocated the grant on a first come, first served
basis. The deadline for applying is the 30th of April 2019.
What is the offer?
Affiliated clubs can apply for a fixed grant of £1,000
for projects to Digitise their club or improve their
Catering provision to support their involvement in
the Cricket World Cup 2019 events programme.
Projects must range from £1,000 to £10,000 - this
range allows for meaningful projects that can be
delivered in advance of the Cricket World
Cup.

Digitise Your Club
If your project’s aim is to improve the digital facilities
of your club, you’ll hopefully be able to provide an
exciting and engaging environment for watching the
action of the Cricket World Cup unfold. Here are a
few ideas for a digital club project:
• Installation of broadband and/or WiFi, including
routers
• Up to 6 months broadband subscription costs
• Audio/visual equipment including TVs, PA/sound
systems and projectors
• Digital Point of Sale (POS) equipment such as
card readers, tills etc.
Catering Facilities
A project to improve your club’s
Catering Facilities could have
a profound impact on the
success of your CWC family
day, while also providing
an ongoing legacy for
your clubhouse. Here
are a few possibilities
for inspiration:
Catering
equipment:
Kitchen units, appliances,
coffee machines, glass
washers,
BBQs,
pizza
ovens, bottle coolers, ice
cream fridges, slush machines,
etc.
Outdoor social areas including patios,
