Horspath Cricket Club raised £3,000 for mental health support through a Tape Ball Six-a-side Competition, with the funds split equally between Mind and Oxfordshire Mind. A cheque presentation took place at the clubroom for Oxfordshire Mind.
The competition featured ten teams made up of men's and women's players, juniors, friends, supporters and families. It was held at the Recreation Ground in Horspath, around three miles east of Oxford, on August Bank Holiday Sunday. Teams played in coloured shirts donated by Newtrim UK Ltd, and two matches ran simultaneously throughout the day.
Olivia White, events and fundraising manager at Oxfordshire Mind, said: 'We cannot thank everyone at Horspath Cricket Club enough for their incredible support. The funds raised will make a meaningful difference to the lives of people experiencing mental health challenges across Oxfordshire and West Berkshire.' Horspath Cricket Club secretary Russell Smith said the event was a true team effort, describing it as 'a brilliant effort from everyone involved' that 'successfully brought together all sections of the club for a most worthy cause'.
