Woolpit Cricket Club receives sponsorship boost
Hopkins Homes, East Anglia’s largest housebuilder and new sister company, Tilia Homes, have jointly sponsored Woolpit Cricket Club, demonstrating their support for local communities. The £1,500 donation will aid the club’s initiatives to improve practice facilities and enhance the overall cricket experience for participants of all ages.
Tilia Homes and Hopkins Homes merged last year under a new group company called untypical. Both housebuilders are building a new community on the edge of Woolpit, near Bury St Edmunds – Kiln Grove for Tilia Homes and The Elms for Hopkins Homes – with a range of 2 to 5-bedroom homes.
Tilia Homes and Hopkins Homes chose Woolpit Cricket Club because of its strong local ties, its inclusive approach to all ages, and the opportunity to improve the playing experience for its members.
Rob Gibson, Commercial Manager and Player at Woolpit Cricket Club expressed his gratitude: “We are incredibly grateful to Tilia Homes and Hopkins Homes for their generous sponsorship of our cricket club. Their support is instrumental in helping us continue to develop and improve our practice and playing facilities, with the overall goal of providing a positive and enriching environment for our players and visitors.
“Woolpit Cricket Club is a real community club with a beautiful ground, an inclusive approach to the sport, and a commitment to providing opportunities for all age groups to play and participate in cricket. Thank you, Tilia Homes and Hopkins Homes, for your commitment to the club and the future of cricket in our community.”
The sponsorship will go directly towards enhancing and upgrading the club’s playing facilities and the purchase of new equipment, especially the practice net facilities. The latter will be given priority, to ensure the safety and quality of the five artificial grass practice nets used regularly by junior, men’s, and women’s teams, so people of all ages and abilities in the local community can enjoy cricket.
