The Lord's Taverners (accredited by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as the official national charity for recreational cricket) commits 50% of the funds it raises each year to provide grants in support of youth cricket.
Applications can be made for grants towards the installation of non-turf pitches, practice ends and nets. You can apply if you are a cricket club affiliated to a National Governing Body of Cricket, an individual school or an organisation directly involved in the running of youth cricket and which has a genuine need for assistance.
Awards will not normally exceed the following levels:

•  Non-turf match pitch - £3,000

•  Non-turf practice - £2,000

•  Outdoor nets - £1,000

An application form is available on the website.
