As many of you know I work for a Charity called Cricket for Change. We use cricket to do good amongst communities of young people who, for whatever reason, are disadvantaged. We believe that cricket can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities; helping them to gain confidence, feel included and a bringing together people from different backgrounds.
Two years ago I was lucky enough to be invited on a life changing trip to Barbados, where we took 13 Visually Impaired cricketers to play against Barbados and the West Indies. For many on this trip it was the first time they had ever been abroad and this was their first taste of independence. From the success of this trip we have decided this year we can go one better. This July we are taking 13 Visually Imaired and 13 physical and learning difficulties players to play against the Courtney Walsh Foundation and the Jamaica National Team. With double the numbers going it means double the fundraising. All the young people and staff going have been doing events all over england fundraising for this fantastic trip. I am running a Charity Talent show at Ashford Cricket Club on saturday 3rd July and would really love it if you could attend and help this cause. Entry is only £5 each and there will be a bbq and raffle. Those of you who are unable to attend but would still like to donate please do so below.
Thanks for all your help and support.
