Tickets are now on sale for our Gala Dinner on 9^th October 2025. You can join Michael Atherton and friends for an evening of entertainment, to help celebrate the impact delivered over the last 20 years and to raise funds to change more lives through cricket. Tables of 10 are available so why not bring friends or colleagues and help us share the story of CWB?

CWB is celebrating 20 years. Starting from coaching 3000 children in year 1, to 259,691 in 2024, the charity has grown its impact through the dedication of 530 UK volunteers and over 50 local ambassadors. Numbers don't always tell the best story in terms of impact, and the success of the charity can be seen by national cricket team players having first experienced cricket from CWB sessions, coaching jobs being created and filled thanks to training delivered by CWB and countless friendships made between children, teachers and parents through the simple act of batting, bowling and fielding. More recently partnerships have enabled CWB to expand further across the world, sharing the benefits of play in community development.

In this celebration year, CWB is looking to raise funding to secure our future to increase capacity for cricket development and the associated benefits to the communities where we work. 

This may look like expanding into new countries where cricket development can have a social impact, supporting community change through cricket and, of course, to connecting hundreds of thousands of children, and giving them the opportunity to build confidence and life skills. This will be made possible by continuing our partnerships and through continuing our volunteer projects.

You can contribute to this milestone year by attending our gala dinner, making a donation or by volunteering on one of our trips.
