Club turns out to support James Hopkins Trust

Bredon Cricket Club made a huge effort to support the James Hopkins Trust yesterday (Friday, July 26).

A golf day at Naunton Downs, near Cheltenham, was followed by a
a well-supported family fun night with live music from local band Kings of the Hill at Hill Close.

There was also a big raffle that included prizes such as a family passes to Mr Mulligan’s, Cheltenham, and 10-pin bowling at Gloucester.

Overall, the event raised a magnificent £3,500 for the James Hopkins Trust, a cause close to the heart of the Matty family, whom many club members will know.

Established in 1989, the trust provides care for babies and children up to the age of five who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition while supporting their families.
