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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CWB are delighted to have been chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the remarkable efforts of Marlborough College Cricket Club!
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.
“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 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.
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 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.
For the second #CWBchallenge we are going a little more creative - this week your task is to make your own ball from material in your home, garden or yard. You’ll then be able to use this ball in future challenges!
