Our goal is to raise £40,000 for The Bradby Club and Rugby Cricket Club.

The Bradby Club was set up in 1919, by two masters from Rugby School – Reverend Canon Bonhote and G.F.Bradby - who apparently caught some local boys stealing apples from Bradby’s garden. In its early days the club met at Rugby School until Bradby left some land at the bottom of his garden that eventually became home to the present building. It is now a busy youth club that offers a range of activities and services to local boys and girls, including Open-Access Youth Sessions, ASCENT health and well-being project, Relationships and sexual health advice, Boxing and a number of other sporting and recreational opportunities. Youth Workers at the club work with young people around a wide range of issues such as, Anti-social Behaviour, Gangs, Knife Crime, Exploitation, Drugs and Alcohol etc – supporting them through issues and barriers that enable them the opportunity to achieve to their full potential. All of this is paid for from charitable grants and donations. To learn more please visit: Bradby Club

Rugby Cricket Club is a community sports club that believe that access to sport is hugely important to young people. The opportunity to explore different skills, work in teams and commit to a group and community brings huge benefits and opportunities for children that unfortunately our schools are not always resourced to help with, or which parents are either unable or unaware of to provide access to. They have launched outreach programmes going into the local community to give as many children as possible the opportunity to try cricket: launching a girls section, an academy and going into schools at no charge to schools to remove any barriers to children playing. Money raised from this event will therefore also go towards equipment to help children have a facility that they can use to practice, provide coaching hours being delivered in the community and the further development of girls and boys cricket so that they can generate that first spark of interest in sport that can so positively help shape young people’s development and opportunity.
