Story

The Professional Cricketers Trust is set to celebrate the biggest day in the county calendar while highlighting the life-changing work of the charity at Edgbaston on Saturday 16 July.

The Vitality Blast Finals Day is to support the players charity for the third successive year and with a number of heartbreaking and heartwarming stories told throughout the build-up, fundraising activities are now confirmed.

The Trust was created to support the health and wellbeing of PCA members who have entertained cricket supporters over the years on the pitch for when they are in desperate need for help.

With the Trust taking centre stage for Finals Day, awareness of the small charity will be raised with the aim to create funds to continue its work in being a vital support mechanism for crickets biggest assets, its players.

The Trust's work is all encompassing, whether it be for unforeseen physical or mental needs. In 2021 alone, the Trust supported 106 individuals with mental health problems, taking the total since 2015 to 526. The assistance for current and former players in England and Wales is all encompassing, whether it be for physical or mental needs including provision of specialist equipment, funding operations or specialist wellbeing support.

The Trust also offers invaluable support to immediate family members of current and former players, including the wife of the late Alan Igglesden who inspired so many fighting a brain tumour and debilitating strokes

Put simply, we will not be able to continue such work without your generosity.

There are numerous ways for you to get involved this Finals Day at Edgbaston or watching around the world:

- Vitality Blast Mascot Race brought to you by the Professional Cricketers Trust. Text the FIRST NAME of your mascot to 84903 to donate £5 and be in with a chance of winning premium tickets for 2023 Finals Day

- Bowling activation with former England legends around Edgbaston

- Text FIVE, TEN, TWENTY or THIRTY to 70515 to donate to the Trust

So please, dig deep and do what you can to get behind the players' charity on Finals Day - we really do value your support!
