Community Contribution Statement
Our Community contribution looks to recognise the role people play in making their neighbourhood a good place to live and provide opportunities for them to be involved.
At Walmley Cricket and Sports Club we aim to be at the heart of the local community and build on its current high number of active members and volunteers to make a significant contribution to the economic, social, sporting and cultural life of the area. We recognise ourselves as a community ‘Asset’, providing sporting and physical activities to improve the health and well-being of local people.
As part of our development plans we will continue to build on our asset and provide opportunities to link with other local community and sports groups and develop our local volunteering and coaching
opportunities.
