Kyneton Cricket Club - Grant Winner Testimonial

Kyneton Cricket Club received a Dyson’s Community Grant to provide new scoring technology to their junior teams.

Paper based cricket scoring is sometimes difficult for people to learn so the number of parents available to provide this important service is limited.

Nick Tunzi, club secretary, said the grant enabled the club to buy new tablets for the scorers to use. “Because it is much easier to score on the new tablets as opposed to the traditional paper-based system, we have seen a considerable increase in the number of volunteers willing to take on this role. Gameday volunteering numbers are up as more people get involved.” 

The Dyson Community Grants aim to benefit the community by making a positive difference in people's lives, with the program striving to help support community groups at grassroots level. Eligible organisations include schools, sporting clubs, not-for-profit groups, charities, and emergency services.

After successful rounds in late 2020 and early 2021, a third round of Grants expect to open later in 2021. For more information, visit: dysongroup.com.au/about/community-grants
