Durham Cricket are offering free entry for everyone to their Metro Bank One Day Cup game against Derbyshire on Friday 11 August at Seat Unique Riverside.
The game has been designated as the Clubs annual Community Day game and will be a chance for everyone to come and experience a day out at the cricket with family and friends.
The day will celebrate the work the club and its partners are doing in the community and the community work which is being delivered every season from the cricket network in Durham – from volunteers in nearly 100 local clubs to projects delivered by Durham Cricket and its Foundation which is aiming to improve the physical and mental wellbeing and tackle social isolation for people aged 50+.
The match will also help raise funds and awareness for the Clubs Foundation who will have a number of fundraising initiatives taking place with exciting prizes to be won.
The Everyone Active Family Zone will be open for children to enjoy an array of games and a number of the clubs charitable partners and organisations will be in attendance including Durham Pride, Young Asian Voices, Poverty Hurts, The Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust and UK Fostering will be in attendance and there will also be a range of fun activities to take part in and watch including walking cricket on the pitch and a mascot race.
Long-standing partner of Durham Foundation, The Great North Children’s Hospital will have a huge zone showcasing eleven of its departments with a pop up hospital, offering interactive games and activities throughout the day.
The day will also incorporate the club’s annual Volunteer Recognition Day, celebrating the outstanding efforts on hundreds of volunteers supporting the grassroots game at cricket clubs across Durham every season.
