East Beds Charity Cricket Club Supporting SERV Herts and Beds

Andy Cowley, SERV Herts and Beds, was privileged to be able to accept a significant donation from the East Beds Charity Cricket Shield; an organisation that runs cricket and golf competitions as means of collecting funds for charities.

The Senior Shield dates back to 1921 when started as a weekend Cricket League. After World War 2, some of the local cricketers decided that the Shield should be put to beneficial use running evening events comprising a Heritage Cup, Senior Shield, Junior and Under 18 competitions. This year they had selected 13 charities to whom they awarded donations and we are very fortunate to be one of those charities.

Mr Charles Whitbread Patron and Rt Hon Alistair Burt sharing the presentation of those donations. SERV would like to publicly thank all in the East Beds Charity Cricket Shield members and officials for their wonderful generosity and confirm that their contributions will be going to a good cause in that our own group of volunteers can continue to help the NHS by delivering blood to Hospitals in Beds and Herts, Human Milk via the Hearts Milk Bank as well as supporting hospices delivering patient samples for testing, medical equipment, prescriptions medicines etc.

Many thanks to all involved. On behalf of the SERV Herts and Beds team - we are most grateful.
