Story

<p>In Spring 2012, a team from Belvoir Castle Cricket Trust will be heading to Africa to support the work of the charity, <a title="Cricket Without Boundaries" href="http://www.cricketwithoutboundaries.com">Cricket without Boundaries</a>.</p> <p>The team will be lead by Trust Chairman Phil O'Brien and Director Darren Bicknell. &nbsp;The main trip will go to Uganda with volunteers&nbsp;Martin James,&nbsp;Ken Kirk,&nbsp;Neil Atkins and Claire Marris accompanying Phil and Darren. &nbsp;Meanwhile,&nbsp;Rachael Dyer will be heading to Botswana with another CWB group.</p> <p>There are some pictures of our volunteers in action at Belvoir in a slide show to the left of the page - and if you click on the video link, you will be able to see a <a title="Cricket Without Boundaries - video" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opj7Z9Hnn8Y&amp;amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#!">brief video explaining CWB's work</a> promoting cricket and delivering an AIDS message to youngsters in remote villages in Africa.</p> <p>All the team are paying for their own flights, expenses, jabs. &nbsp;Also, individuals are aiming to hit a target of &pound;750 per person to buy equipment to leave as a legacy with the children. &nbsp;This fundraising aims to supplement and support the individual fundraising for the project.</p> <p><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We really appreciate any contribution that you can make no matter how small.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
