Basic Human Rights young volunteers visited the Yorkshire Cricket Mela at Manningham Mills Cricket Club on Sunday 18th July to collect donations toward the Haiti Programme.

They raised almost Ł300 in just four hours.

The Yorkshire Cricket Mela saw representatives of Australia and Pakistan take to the pitch in front of a modestly sized crowd. The Pakistani team took the game, with 238 for 9 wickets. The Australians completed innings at 236.

Manningham Mills is one of three locations in Bradford supported by Basic Human Rights. The organisation will work in partnership with the cricket club, Netherleigh and Rossefield School in Heaton and Huggy’s Gym in West Bowling to identify how we can help local communities.
