Wiltshire Cricket launches Women's Volunteer Network

Wiltshire Cricket are excited to launch our NEW initiative for 2024!

The Women’s Volunteer Network aims to create a community of female volunteers, coaches, supporters, players, and officials as well as providing opportunities for Women and Girl’s to develop their knowledge about cricket (e.g. Through workshops, including Umpiring/Scoring, First Aid, Skillset sessions, Mental Health in/around sport and many more planned for the oncoming season)

With these opportunities, we are looking to provide clubs and individuals with support to grow the Women and Girls game across the county.
