Great news from Cricket NSW
Helensburgh Junior Cricket Club will share in $10,000 worth of grant funding made available as part of the HomeWorld Helpers Grant program.
An initiative of the Sydney Thunder and HomeWorld, the club in the state’s Illawarra will receive a $1,000 grant to support the purchase of new equipment, including shade marquees.
The club is one of 10 across the Thunder Nation to benefit from the program, which sets out to develop the next generation of Sydney Thunder stars in the shape of improved diversity and inclusion opportunities, equipment, uniforms, coaching and local promotion of the game.
HomeWorld Group of Companies’ Director of Marketing, Sponsorship & Community, Trudi Busch, said HomeWorld was excited to continue with their Helpers Grant initiative.
“It has been great to see the grants being used by Thunder Nation Cricket Clubs over the past few years,” Trudi said.
“We think it is important to support cricketing communities and hope that these new grants will help local clubs develop their younger players. Cricket should be accessible to anyone who wants to give it a go.”
The HomeWorld Helpers Grant initiative has been supported by the Cricket NSW Foundation, who dollar-matched HomeWorld’s contribution, providing further assistance to the great work being undertaken by grassroot cricket communities across NSW.
