Story
The Professional Cricketers' Trust is forecast to lose over £250,000 in 2020 due to COVID-19, a huge blow to a small charity that funds life-changing medical assistance, crisis helplines, mental health support and provides assistance through welfare, education and support during difficult times.
With the majority of fundraising secured through events, it leaves the charity in desperate need to secure funds to continue its life changing, and often lifesaving work.

Not every player is fortunate to have a long, happy and healthy cricket career and that is where the Professional Cricketers' Trust is an invaluable support for all players. They treat everyone as equal and it is heart-warming to see how they take care of their own.
From medical care and mental health counselling to preventative educational programmes and help with addiction, we're proud to say we're here for individuals when they need us most.
The 24-hour Confidential Helpline means we're first port of call, day or night. You're never a number with the Professional Cricketers' Trust. We're big enough to make a difference, but small enough to offer personal guidance through turbulence and upheaval.

The Professional Cricketers' Trust is a small charity who have saved and supported countless lives and due to the Coronavirus is faced with a huge funding shortfall. All donations will go directly to current and former players who have fallen on hard times and desperately need support.
In 2019 alone, the Trust supported 85 people with mental health problems, 40 of those cases were current players, with ages of those accessing support ranging from 17 to 88 years of age.

The Trust has given us so much, both financially and mentally. I'm so grateful for the precious moments and family time in the last year of Laura's life.
