Leicestershire CCC to donate 50% of ticket sales to Ukraine Crisis Appeal

Leicestershire County Cricket Club, would like to contribute to helping those currently afflicted by the current circumstances in Ukraine by donating 50% of our match ticket sales purchased by supporters over the next two weeks until March 18, 2022 to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal created by the British Red Cross.

The British Red Cross launched a Ukraine Crisis Appeal to help distribute urgent aid and resources to those in need.

So far, Red Cross teams in Ukraine have distributed over 30,000 food and hygiene parcels, provided warm clothes, as well as other aid to around 8,000 people sheltering in metro stations.

First aid training has also been delivered to over 2,000 people taking cover in metro stations and bomb shelters, so they have the vital skills to treat their loved ones if needed.

How your ticket purchase will help:

• ·        Selling just 2 tickets could provide a hygiene kit to a family of five, giving them supplies to stay healthy for a month.
• ·        Selling just 3 tickets could provide five blankets to families taking shelter.
• ·        Selling just 4 tickets could provide 40 chlorine tablets to ensure that families have access to clean, safe water.
• ·        Selling just 9 tickets could provide a thermometer to help treat those who have fallen ill.
• ·        Selling just 25 tickets could provide a fully equipped first aid kit, including supplies, to a first aider treating those wounded.

Jack Bradley Head of Marketing & Consumer Sales commented: “With our current priority ticket windows open for the 2022 Vitality Blast and England Women’s One Day International, plus the domestic fixture general on sale windows opening over the next week, we predict that tickets will be in high demand.

“We are pleased to give a proportion of this anticipated income to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal, to help those currently affected in this horrendous conflict”.
