Petersfield Cricket Club needs your vote in the Lloyds Bank Community Fund

 

Petersfield Cricket Club has been shortlisted for the Lloyds Bank Community Fund 2014 in your area, we need your vote! We have the chance to be awarded a grant of up to £3,000 from Lloyds Bank to help with drainage on the Petersfield Heath Cricket pitch.

We have been playing cricket in Petersfield for over 260 years; we are an integral part of the community.  Two of our members, Nic and Tom, U11 cricket players have been members of the Club since they were 5, they value what the Club has done for them and what winning £3,000 would do: “We love playing cricket for Petersfield. Both of us play for our schools as well but enjoy the friendships and atmosphere here. There are always problems at the start of the season with the Heath pitch. We look forward to cricket but it is often cancelled, very disappointing. Being able to do something about it so we can start the season training and playing on time would be awesome.”

The Lloyds Bank Community Fund was set up to help local people across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man to have a positive impact at the heart of their community by giving grants to up to 1,400 local good causes in 350 communities.

There are four good causes shortlisted in each community and Lloyds Bank is inviting everyone to vote for the causes they’d most like to support.

Members of the public can vote for their preferred community group on-line, by SMS or Twitter, or in a branch of Lloyds bank from 2 September to 10 October 2014. The local good cause that receives most votes in each community will receive an award of £3,000, with the other groups receiving £2,000, £1,000 or £500 depending on the votes received.

You can find out more about the Community Fund and Petersfield Cricket Club and cast your vote by visiting the Lloyds Bank Community Fund website at: www.lloydsbank.com/communityfund.
