About ECB Grass Pitch Improvement Fund
The Grass Pitch Improvement Fund (GPIF) aims to tackle inequalities by providing improved access to good quality, safe playing facilities for targeted groups. The Sport England Lottery Fund will provide funding for projects in England with projects in Wales supported by the England and Wales Cricket Trust.
Priority will be given to applications which support cricket for the following groups:
- Women's and girls' cricket
- Cricket in diverse communities
- Disability cricket
- Low socio-economic groups (LSEG)
Investment will be targeted into three main areas:
- Improving the quality of squares and outfields (for grass pitches rated 'unsuitable' or 'basic' to improve to at least 'good')
- Creating sustainable management of sites (through irrigation and machinery improvements)
- Installing hybrid pitches to increase playing capacity
The fund will run until March 2027, or whenever funding is fully allocated, whichever is sooner.
