The Northern Cricket Union (NCU) is proud to announce that its partnership with Lagan Valley Steels raised a total of £600 for Dementia NI during the highly anticipated LVS T20 Finals Day, held at Waringstown CC on 21st July 2024.
The event, which brought together 4 of the top T20 cricket teams in the region, was not only a thrilling display of cricketing talent but also a platform for a worthy cause. Thanks to the generous contributions from attendees, sponsors, and participants, funds raised will go directly to Dementia NI, a charity that provides invaluable support for individuals living with dementia and their families across Northern Ireland.
“We are happy with the success of this charity fundraiser at the LVS T20 Finals Day,” said Callum Atkinson, NCU Interim Chief Executive. “It’s always encouraging to see the cricket community come together for such an important cause, and the £600 raised for Dementia NI will make a real difference. We thank everyone who contributed to making this a memorable and impactful day.”
Dementia NI, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia and their families, has been working tirelessly to improve the lives of those affected by dementia through advocacy, support, and raising awareness. The £600 raised will go towards the charity’s initiatives to provide help, resources, and community engagement.
The Northern Cricket Union and Lagan Valley Steels are grateful for the overwhelming support from spectators and teams that made this donation possible.
