Leather on willow...
We are a community sports team for East Lothian, and for Edinburgh. We want to be inclusive, and make the most of precious summer afternoons. But we would also like to improve our facilities, grow participation, and bring youth cricket back to Haddington.
For this, we need support. We’d love to partner with businesses, charities & other sports teams in Scotland. We’d rather collaborate, and promote, than simply ask for funding to chase a hard little ball around.
Read on for an example proposal, or just drop us a line.
Either way, pitch it up x
