PATRONS CLUB

Middlesex in the Community celebrated its 1^st Birthday in April 2025, and to mark the occasion it formed a Patrons Club, and invited people become members. We were delighted with the response we received and after one year we proudly boast 19 members.

It goes without saying that our aim is for this number to grow and for it to become a sizeable group that has a significant impact on the work we do.

As with other fundraising initiatives, the income generated by the generosity of our Patrons Club is used by Middlesex in the Community to deliver the outstanding projects and programmes we do. Examples of the impact we have is listed below.

We want to get as many people as possible, no matter their ethnicity, age, gender or ability, to play cricket and for the game to be a cause for good.

To become a member of the Patrons Club we are asking people to donate £1,250 per year for a three year period.
