A 150-year-old cricket club and a West African education charity — united by a belief that sport has the power to change lives far beyond the boundary.
Together we're raising £110 a month — enough to fully educate two children in rural Togo. Just £1.25/month from each of us gets us there.
Modern sports clubs have a responsibility to their whole community — on the pitch and far beyond it. Here's what Cricket For Change is built on.
A cricket ground is more than turf and wickets. It's a place where people of every background find common ground — a safe, welcoming community hub in the heart of Crouch End.
We believe every child deserves to read, to learn, to dream. Through Togo Union UK, donations from Hornsey members fund schooling for children in rural Togo who would otherwise go without.
Sport builds mental and physical health, social connection, and resilience. We want these benefits to flow both ways — enriching our community in London and the communities we support in Togo.
Education opens doors to employment. By funding schooling today, we're investing in the economic futures of Togolese children — breaking intergenerational poverty one classroom at a time.
These aren't abstract statistics. They represent children growing up without the education they deserve.
Keep up with the partnership, the cricket club, and news from Togo.
Hornsey CC officially launched its partnership with Togo Union UK at the start of May — making history as one of the first cricket clubs in England to formally link with an African education charity.
Hornsey CC's Shivani Mehta became the first female player to appear in a Premier League match in both Hornsey and Middlesex County Cricket League history — a landmark moment for the club and the sport.
On and off the pitch, it's been a brilliant week. Harry led the side to two consecutive victories — and every match is another chance to share our fundraising story with the crowd.
