Rainham Cricket Club suffered a number of losses to facilities and equipment due to a wildfire in the fields backing on to the club last week. They have launched a fundraiser to help purchase replacement equipment. If your club is able to make a donation to their fundraiser it will be greatly appreciated by all at Rainham.
Every donation, no matter the size, will have a tremendous impact and real benefit to a club at a time of great need and stress for the club. Kind regards, Paul Frame Honorary Secretary Hamro Foundation Essex League
