PITCH2PITCH FUNDRAISING WALK

A Game for Everyone – The Story of the Greater Manchester Falcons

The Greater Manchester Falcons are among the UK’s first visually impaired cricket teams, fully integrated into a mainstream club. They were established in response to requests from local visually impaired community members for accessible play. The team’s aims are to stay active, build confidence, form friendships, and develop through cricket. A significant challenge they face is transportation: most players cannot drive, and public transit is often inaccessible, making attendance at matches costly and stressful. Some players miss opportunities due to cost constraints, and their development is limited by mobility constraints. Their dream is to have a club minibus for safe, affordable travel, and this fundraiser is a step towards that goal, helping to cover transport costs, foster team bonds, and remove barriers to participation.
