I love the work of the Foundation and truly believe in the impact it can have on people from all walks of life, across all ages and all abilities.

Cricket helps people physically, mentally and emotionally, and is a sport whether you play, volunteer or follow, that can be a part of your life forever. It can help a child discover confidence, it can be the catalyst for an active life, it can enable a disabled person to find purpose, bring companionship to an older adult and connect people to their local community.

This is why I am supporting the Gloucestershire Cricket Foundation to raise £6000, which will allow them to continue their impactful work, reaching as many people as possible, regardless of income, ability, age or health across Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and Bristol.

“Since my wife died, I have found socialising difficult. Walking Cricket has been a lifeline for me, giving me a reason to leave the house and be sociable again. I don’t think I’d still be here if it wasn’t for Walking Cricket and the people I’ve met.” - Walking Cricket participant age 76

This is just one example of how your donation can change someone's life and help the Gloucestershire Cricket Foundation continue improving lives through the power of cricket.
