Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thanks to all my family and friends who helped me celebrate my 40th birthday on Saturday night.  As many of you would know, I didn't want presents, but instead, was suggesting that you all make a donation to Cricket Without Boundaries in lieu of gifts!

CWB has three main goals:

• To spread cricket through coaching children and teaching adults how to coach; and
• To link the sport to HIV/AIDS awareness and incorporate these messages into coaching sessions.
• To bring together and empower local communities through cricket.

Working in partnership with the Cricket Associations in each country, the relevant British High Commissions and the ICC, they follow a simple, 3 stage, sports development structure to try to ensure some form of sustained development of the game: 1) coach education; 2) Schools coaching, and 3) Tournament.

Coach education takes the form of teaching the adults the basics of cricket through the ICC's Introduction to Cricket course (which includes coaching, umpiring and scoring) as well as for moredeveloped coaches delivering the ICC's level 1 and 2 awards.  Importantly though, coaches are taught to introduce the safe behaviour messages throughout their coaching sessions.
