Natwest CricketForce

You may have heard of ‘Natwest CricketForce’ before, but for those who haven’t in simple terms it’s a cross between Ground force and Changing Rooms, it a initiative giving all cricket clubs what ever the size an opportunity to support themselves.

NatWest CricketForce encourages cricket supporters, their friends and families to give something back to their local community cricket club by volunteering to undertake major renovations to clubhouses and grounds.

1,050 clubs across England and Wales registered to take part in NatWest CricketForce 2006, seeing around 70,000 volunteers at work, and bringing £25 million worth of investment to clubs from the local community and businesses.

The driving theme for NatWest CricketForce 2007 is using the event to help recruit key volunteers in to clubs and contribute enormously to the ECB's strategy target of achieving 85,000 volunteer roles.
