Ashford's Got Talent

Beth works for a charity called Cricket for Change. They use cricket to do good amongst communities of young people who, for whatever reason, are disadvantaged. Beth says "We believe that cricket can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities; helping them to gain confidence, feel included and a bringing together people from different backgrounds. Two years ago I was lucky enough to be invited on a life-changing trip to Barbados, where we took 13 visually impaired cricketers to play against Barbados and the West Indies. For many on this trip it was the first time they had ever been abroad and this was their first taste of independence. From the success of this trip we have decided this year we can go one better. This July we are taking 13 visually impaired and 13 physical and learning difficulties players to play against the Courtney Walsh Foundation and the Jamaica National Team. With double the numbers going it means double the fundraising.
All the young people and staff going have been doing events all over England fundraising for this fantastic trip. I am running a Charity Talent show at Ashford Cricket Club and would really love it if you could attend and help this cause. Entry is only £5 each and there will be a bbq and raffle. If you are unable to attend I urge you to still donate to my fundraising attempt at my just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/BethEvans1984 or you can give donations to me.Thanks for all your support and help and I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday."
