The LCCC Foundation aims to Inspire Communities through Cricket and is the official arm of the 2011 County Champions Lancashire County Cricket Club. The Foundation is an independent and registered charity that is governed by a Board of Directors.
The LCCC Foundation is proud to announce the formation of a new partnership with Cricket Without Boundaries(CWB), to help develop and deliver an anti-female genital mutilation (FGM) and female empowerment programme using cricket as the medium to engage and educate.
The partnership will see LCCC Foundation staff supporting a team of CWB volunteers who will travel to Kenya in June and work with schools and communities to help raise awareness and understanding of this key cultural issue. This will build and expand on the successful work carried out by CWB in February 2015 in partnership with 28 Too Many and the Masaii Cricket Warriors, delivering an anti-FGM cricket programme to the Masaii community in Laikipia Kenya.
In addition LCCC Foundation and CWB will work with identified school and community groups in Trafford to provide cricket coaching sessions and training to empower those affected to speak out and seek help.
By helping to fund the development and delivery of the new anti-FGM project, both in Kenya and closer to home in targeted communities of Trafford, we will be able to combine our expertise using cricket as a vehicle to make a real difference to the lives of young females identified as at risk.
