ECT awarded a grant of £50,000 towards this fantastic new practice facility at West Bergholt Cricket Club Colts through the Landfill Communities Fund. They will be officially opening in 2026 and will be a wonderful facility to train the cricketers of the future. Well done to the club on delivering the project seamlessly! #TheLCF

Exciting to see the project to provide a new practice nets facility underway at West Bergholt Cricket Club. I'm sure it will be a popular destination come next season for the club's aspiring cricketers!

Last stop was a fantastic outdoor gym facility at Walsall Arboretum, where ECT has contributed £50k towards a £111k project. I have to say it was one of the most impressive green gym facilities that I have seen in my many years in the role, resembling a professional indoor gym. The park has some incredible facilities, including an extensive play area, MUGA, skatepark and bandstand, and the outdoor gym is the latest string to its bow. #TheLCF

Enovert Community Trust and its predecessor, Cory Environmental Trust in Britain, has supported several projects at Pelsall Cricket and Sports Club over the years, owing to its fantastic community links and its location in the vicinity of Enovert's Highfields South Landfill Site. The latest project was to improve drainage and resurface the driveway and car park at the club. The Trustees' rarely fund car park projects, however the club demonstrated a particularly strong need case, and the project builds upon ECT's investment in the club to date, which includes updated changing rooms, roof repairs and a family play facility. The project cost £47k, with ECT contributing £27k towards it. #thelcf

We had a warm welcome at Pelsall Community Association, where ECT awarded a second grant to fund the replacement of room dividers and the provision of new flooring, enabling the creation of dining/private hire area within the centre. The new doors are almost completely soundproof, which makes the space far more versatile, both keeping sounds within the room (choir practice) and also buffering the sounds from the busy community centre. ECT awarded £18,178 towards the project, building on a first grant awarded back in 2022 to restore the outside space at the centre, creating a wooden shelter and raised planters, at a cost of £17k. It was great to hear that Biffa Award had also awarded a grant to this fantastic community facility, funding new heaters/coolers in the centre's main hall. When we visited there was a baby sensory class underway, demonstrating the need to provide warm spaces for the many users. #thelcf
