Thank you to our kit supplier Xrcise, who donated all the coloured kit for Vero's team in Rwanda.

Our volunteer team has now completed week one in Rwanda.

The trip so far has included a humbling visit to Kigali Genocide Memorial, a training session with the Rwanda Men’s team, 1000s of children coached in schools with only 50 tennis balls going missing and a loss against tall Eric’s girls team.

CWB's Head of Delivery Lee Booth, Trustee Gary Shankland and long term volunteer Jamie Burton have recently launched a new cricket team based in Huye, Rwanda.

Henrietta Ishimwe started playing cricket when she was 14 years old at the CWB supported Ndera hub on the outskirts of Kigali, Rwanda.

Gislaine started playing cricket in 2017 at the Ndera cricket hub on the outskirts of Kigali in Rwanda. Since 2020 she has been volunteering as a coach at the hub.

Talent is equally distributed; opportunity is not. Volunteer with Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB) to help disadvantaged young people start their cricketing journey while also using the sport as a platform for positive social change.

We are delighted to announce that we have started planning project trips for 2022.

You can be a part of our global team to build and sustain #strongpartnerships to deliver community development through sport.

Between the 18th and 26th of September 2021 Cricket Without Boundaries volunteers and and joined the coaching staff and young leaders from the Alsama Project in Lebanon supporting the development of their cricketing skills and coaching knowledge as the project continues to expand its reach.

The CWB Delivery Group is supported by a small team of Trustees who also volunteer their time. Meet Holly who joined the Trustee group in April

In the late 1990’s three friends at university, Ed Williams, Chris Kangis and Andy Hobbs had a dream that one day they would travel across Africa on local transport and coach cricket in the townships.

After close to a decade of volunteering with CWB Gary has now taken over as Chair of Trustees so we thought it would be good to catch up with him and ask a few questions about why he is still involved and his journey so far.

Cricket Without Boundaries is a volunteer-led organisation. We’re really proud of the volunteers in our partner countries who, following training from our Tutors and Ambassadors, keep inspiring children through cricket. This Volunteers Week, we’re highlighting two volunteers from Uganda and Rwanda – Sonia and Samuel.

One of CWB’s three main goals is to link the game to messages and action on health and social issues. That’s why we’re pleased to share our new COVID-19 health education flashcards and activities pack.

In December 2019 Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB) joined 87 top sports organisations to be a signatory to the UNHCR and International Olympic Committee’s Refugee Sports Coalition.

Join us in a grand adventure, and help raise vital funds for Cricket Without Boundaries, on our “Meander Uganda” virtual mission!

Cricket Without Boundaries is recruiting for several voluntary positions to join our Board of Trustees. We are a largely volunteer led charity, and our purpose is to use sport, cricket in particular, as a tool for delivering social change.

No-one welcomed 2021 in quite the way they were expecting, but to help us kick-off our year we would like you to join us in celebrating the African countries that CWB works in and the Ambassadors that work there.

With 2020 drawing to a close, it’s time to look back on a strange, challenging but in many ways positive year for Cricket Without Boundaries.

On World Aids Day, we would love you to join us for the evening to celebrate the work of our amazing Ambassadors and to test your wits in our quiz. 

I am passionate about my work as a health economist, helping evaluate programmes to prevent infectious diseases in low income settings and also love cricket, so when I heard about a charity that uses cricket to deliver infectious disease prevention messages, the dye was cast.

Ten years ago, nearly to the day, I was setting off on my debut Cricket Without Boundaries trip to Rwanda. The world now is obviously very different, so I thought it was right to reflect on the changes in both CWB and me as an individual in those 10 years.

Despite the disruptions in 2020 due to Covid-19, we were still able to work on our project with partners Avert to develop, design and begin to implement new flashcards to use in cricket sessions across our sub-Saharan Africa partner countries, to get conversations going about HIV.

I am Emmanuel Isaneez, I’m 33 years of age. I am one of 3 children, I have Tony and Susan as my brother and sister, from the family of Mr. Francis Omongole. I come from Uganda in a small town called Jinja. Jinja is well known because its where you find the source of River Nile that goes up to Egypt.

Two years ago we started our programme in Jordan, linking with Right to Play Jordan to introduce cricket into schools via their ‘StrengthenIng our Schools‘ programme.

The Trustees of CWB do a great job in developing strategy and supporting the delivery on the ground. Often they are behind the scenes, but we want to bring them to the front. Today meet Tracey Francis, Trustee since 2019.

As we head into Refugee Week, culminating in World Refugee Day on 20th June, it’s fair to say that set against a rather turbulent backdrop of the global response to COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter protests, it’s certainly a powerful mix. It is also one which should make us reflect on not just supporting refugees, but also how we do this.

My name is Emmy Uwiragiye, I’m 23 years old and I am the 5th child in a family of 7. I’m from the northern province Rwanda. I live in Rulindo district, Kinihira sector.

CWB are delighted to have been chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the remarkable efforts of Marlborough College Cricket Club!

“Pandemic Stopped Play” - certainly it has felt like that has been the case, as cricket grounds around the world have been forced into an unnatural summer hibernation, lying unused under blue skies and sunshine.

Cricket Without Boundaries are delighted to confirm that we have appointed two new Trustees; Dr Matthew Quaife, Assistant Professor in Health Economics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and David Terrace, long-standing CWB volunteer and charity-governance expert.

We are delighted to be able to share with you our Annual Report for 2019 – packed full of photos and updates from another great year at Cricket Without Boundaries. We hope this provides an enjoyable read and thank you for your ongoing support and volunteering efforts, which made all of these great things possible.

Cricket Without Boundaries are grateful to the student members of Marlborough College Cricket Club for including CWB alongside NHS Charities Together and the Ruth Strauss Foundation in its RUN 100 TO RAISE 100 challenge.
