SUPPORTING YOUNG PLAYER DEVELOPMENT AT SIDMOUTH CRICKET CLUB
The Sidmouth Cricket Player Development Charitable Trust was formed in November 2015 off the back of a very kind donation from an existing Club member. The Trust is run by 3 Trustees on a voluntary basis.
The objectives of the Trust are:
-
To promote participation in the game of Cricket.
-
To assist players in maximising their enjoyment of the game through encouraging and assisting them to develop their skills to a level appropriate for each individual.
The beneficiaries of any funding must be aged 13-25 years old and should be, or become, active members of Sidmouth Cricket Club – a community amateur sports club.
The Sidmouth Cricket Player Development Charitable Trust is a not-for-profit organisation recognised as charitable by HMRC for tax purposes.
