On the 1st December to round off our Movember efforts, we are hosting a raffle with proceeds being split equally between Movember and OpeningUp. (I will be posting confirmation of the donations on the LUCC Instagram when the donations have been made). OpeningUp is a charity that specialise in Mental Wellbeing & Suicide Prevention Through Cricket. Opening Up Cricket was formed in 2014 in response to the death of Sefton Park CC wicket keeper Alex Miller and a will to promote positive mental health in our sport. ​Alex took his own life in December 2012 and in the year that followed team mates supported the work of C.A.L.M to pay tribute. This has continued but as the season following his passing came to a close there was a thought to do something lasting and further reaching. As a result, the organisation was created with the aim of speaking to local cricketers about the experience of losing Alex in the hope that more conversations about this topic could prevent further tragedies. Now, in 2022, we have delivered over 400 sessions across the United Kingdom and Australia. The desire to get our message to the cricketing community remains as strong as ever. Prizes include : - An ADM CASTORE LUCC hoodie in your size with initials - A signed Yorkshire Vikings T20 playing t-shirt - A limited edition REX LUCC cap - A £50 Voucher to spend at Shrey Cricket - A 1-2-1 coaching session from Matthew Jackson of Academy North Coaching - A one-of-a-kind LUCC jumper from RockOnRuby - Immunity from the social secretaries for the evening
