Support our community clubhouse through your Tesco blue tokens!

Web Manager27 Feb 2018 - 17:56

Put in for a great cause this April and May

As of this Thursday 1st March, please help support the continued development of our community clubhouse by dropping in your blue tokens for Clitheroe Cricket, Bowling, & Tennis Club at our Clitheroe Tesco store.

Aside from cricket, bowling, and tennis users; the clubhouse itself is used weekly by The Meteor Club (local persons with severe learning disabilities and their carers). The clubhouse also hosts a weekly baby massage group (up to 40 mothers and their babies) through the Foundation for Ribble Valley Families. We also have a number of other regular clubhouse users (e.g. Friends of Pendle Primary School, Clitheroe Historical Society, Clitheroe Mountaineering Club, Slimmers World); and over 30 schools used our facility in 2017 alone. We also host numerous community functions, a number of which are held to raise money for charitable causes.

For us to continue to grown and develop as a 'community hub' we need the support of grants such as these, which complimented by our volunteers' own fundraising efforts, has seen around £180k worth of investment in our site in the previous 4 years...our facility had a record number of users in 2017 and are well on track to continue this progress into 2018 and beyond.

Tokens are handed out from any non-self-service checkout and can be dropped into the box in Tesco's throughout April and May. We hope to use the monies alongside our own fundraising efforts/other grant applications to make improvements to the clubhouse that will benefit the local community for decades to come.
