🌱 WE’RE GOING GREEN! 🌞
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news. Cleve RFC has secured grant funding to install solar PV panels and upgrade our hot water heating and storage systems!
This is a massive step forward for the club, and here’s what it means:
✅ Lower Energy Bills
More savings for the club = more investment in the things that matter most.
✅ Energy Independence
Reduced reliance on the grid means we’re less exposed to rising electricity prices.

We’re cutting carbon emissions and doing our part for the planet.
✅ Enhanced Club Reputation
Sustainability is a win-win — great for our image and attractive to potential sponsors and new members.
✅ Reinvestment in the Club
Savings will go straight back into improving facilities, equipment, and tackling overdue maintenance.
✅ Long-Term Benefits
Solar panels can last over 25 years. Securing financial and environmental benefits for decades.
✅ Battery Backup
With battery storage, we’ll optimise energy use and keep the power flowing when it matters most.
