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.

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.
