Once again this year saw CWB hold two recruitment days in Birmingham and London.

A team of volunteers have recently returned from Uganda following a successful 17 day trip to 3 centres in the East. The team, made up of members of the Belvoir Cricket Trust led by Paul Rowe and Richard Davies, visited Masaka, Kasese and Fort Portal. The team trained over 500 kids and 60 coaches and made a lasting impression on everyone they came into contact with.

The Uganda Cricket Association (“UCA”) won the ICC Africa Region Best Spirit of Cricket Initiative for its project with CWB in 2011. CWB in conjunction with Uganda Cricket Association ran an AIDS/HIV awareness campaign in six districts in Uganda.

CWB's youngest volunteer, Cameron Foster, has been rewarded for his fantastic fundraising efforts with two major honours. Cameron, who started fundraising for charity after recovering from a horrific ski accident 7 years ago, has been named as the Rotary International of Britain and Ireland Young Citizen of the Year. Cameron will receive his award at a ceremony in Bournemouth on the 14th April which will be shown live on BBC news.

CWB are delighted to announce that close friend and partner Aliya Bauer, of Cricket Kenya, has been honoured with the Volunteer of the Year Award for her dedicated work alongside the Maasai Cricket Warriors in 2011 at the Pepsi ICC Develpoment Programme Annual Awards.

Games of cricket are not too common in Oslo, Norway... even less so in the middle of an icy winter where temperatures have regularly been below -10 degrees. Such trivial matters do not perturb the Captain Scott's XI cricket team however.
