Community club's recovery from racist vandalism

Llandaff Cricket Club serves a diverse community in the heart of Cardiff with vital access to safe, outdoor exercise. Our roster of over 20 volunteer community coaches brings together children and adults from multi-ethnic and multi-religious backgrounds to grow the game and strengthen community cohesion.

We exist to ensure that anyone who wants to play cricket gets to.

Last week, we were attacked by people who would like to see our movement fail. Two coaches of our women's team opened up our clubhouse to find that it had been broken into and vandalised with racist, Nazi graffiti in an apparent attempt to intimidate us.

The club is determined to bounce back stronger, but to do that: we need your help.

We want to turn this moment of pain into a moment of hope. We're calling on the community to support us in raising funds for new modern, secure, high-quality facilities worthy of the people who use them.

Your money will go towards Bounce Back Better Fund, which will support the club in embarking on its long-awaited development project. For years the club has been trying to level up our facilities, and now we are closer than ever. If we can make up the current £20,000 shortfall with help from the community, we can make this dream a reality.

It's simple: better facilities mean more children's lives are changed through cricket.

So please donate what you can, share the word and tell people in your community about Llandaff - the cricket club expanding access to cricket, bridging community divides and standing up to cowardly, racist vandals.
