Swardeston Cricket Club haveĀ benefited from the Waitrose England team sponsorship and have been fortunate to receive support from the Eaton store on two initiatives this summer.
During August we were lucky enough to be selectedĀ asĀ one of the community organisations to receive a donation from Waitrose’s Community Matters scheme whereĀ customers use a green token at the end of their shop to vote for how much is to beĀ donated to particular local charities.
Our grants manager Kevin Denmark is pictured receiving a cheque for Ā£243 from Waitrose’sĀ Community Matters Branch ChampionĀ Mel Spillman and David Moore.
Earlier in the season the club was given Ā£100 in support of the itsĀ open day on Saturday 18 July. This wasĀ part of a nationwide promotion where the ECB wasĀ hoping for 1000 clubs to sign up and open their doors to the community.
