Ridgeway Thatching Sponsors Cricket for Local Kids

You know the feeling. As a kid, playing sports with your friends was everything. The thrill of the competition, the camaraderie of teammates, the pure joy of play. Now imagine if you couldn’t access those sports. For many kids, that’s the reality. Cost, location, and opportunity block them from experiencing the magic. That’s why it warmed my heart to see The Ridgeway Thatching Company sponsor an entire week of cricket for local state school children. Opening the door to this beloved game, emphasizing that cricket is for all.

Witnessing the kids light up while playing, maybe finding a Ben Stokes of the future right here in Cirencester. This is what community is all about. Companies giving back so every child can thrive.

Alex Brown, owner of The Ridgeway Thatching Company who sponsored the event, said: “Having watched my stepson Arthur play cricket and witnessing the genuine passion he and his peers have for the game, I couldn’t help but notice the disparities in training and playing time based on their school affiliations.
