OUR PROJECTS
Batting for Change, the cricket events and fundraising arm of The LBW Trust, works to level the global playing field in education by supporting students in cricket-playing, developing countries to complete tertiary education. We work with local NGOs to provide university and vocational education to young men and women. These educational opportunities are transformational, and our hope is that, when they graduate, these students will have the chance to play a pivotal role in building and improving the future of their communities and nations.
