The Change Directors Walk raised funds to create a Cricket Team for Girls and Boys
Fundraising for Beeston and Toton Sycamore Cricket Club
Story
Starting May 2nd we are raising money by doing a sponsored walk so we can start a youth team at our local cricket club.
The Change Directors are passionate about cricket. We love it. Our passion extends to sponsoring the local team, Beeston and Toton Sycamore Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Toton playing fields not for from Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Recently, the Club told us that they want to set up a Youth
Team to attract and train Girls and Boys who want to develop cricket skills as
well as sense of teamwork, fair play and community involvement. Club Cricket has been central to our community for centuries and we want to ensure that this continues.
So, on May 1st, 2015, The Change
Directors, our Associates and BATs Cricket Players are doing a sponsored walk
to raise funds for the equipment and coaching resource required to get the
Youth team up and running.
It’s not just any old walk - we are walking 89 miles along the Ridgeway from Avebury in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Bucks. following a route used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers. The Ridgeway passes through ancient landscapes through downland, secluded valleys and woodland and it will be hard on the feet.
How can you help? Well you can join us for as much or as little of the walk as you like……a mile, 10 miles or the whole week. If that’s too much to ask then why not sponsor this worthy cause
