TV Presenter: Martin Lewis

In the opening statement it reads “No matter how bad it seems, while it may not always be easy or quick, there is light at the end of the tunnel.”  It covers how to handle debts when unwell, work with banks, free debt counselling, specific tips for bipolar disorder or depression sufferers, whether to declare a condition and much more.

Having planned it for years, in 2016 Martin founded the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute. The aim is to research, investigate and lobby for change on mental health issues and debt.

Please #SaveBroadwindsorCricket

Broadwindsor Cricket Club (BCC) was established in 1923 and currently welcomes more than 400 players each year. 

The current owners of Broadwindsor Cricket Ground have decided not to renew the lease and have now served BCC with a notice to vacate the Ground and remove the pavilion! This would tragically spell the end of a 97-year old Club.

However, after months of negotiations, the Club have come to an agreement to pay a fair price for the Ground. Broadwindsor Cricket Club must now raise £35,000 and are seeking financial aid from all players, friends and supporters to help #SaveBroadwindsorCricket.  They are also seeking support from Broadwindsor Group Parish Council at this Monday’s meeting.
They have submitted a total of 9 grant applications and  2 interest-free loan applications so far and have been successful in raising £10,000 – 28% toward their total fundraising figure.

They aim to raise £10,000 through their Crowdfunding campaign. If they don’t achieve their target – they will receive nothing!
* PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND SUPPORT BROADWINDSOR CRICKET CLUB HERE.  *

The Ground on the Beaminster Road, where they have been playing under a lease agreement since 1965, was previously voted as one of the Top 5 Most Beautiful in the country by Wisden.
They have a £10,000 target and at the time of publishing, they have managed to raise £905 plus an estimated  £136.25 via Gift Aid.
They managed to host 40 games in 2019 which included their Sunday Mid-Wessex XI, the Middleton-Hands evening league and friendlies against many local & touring teams. Their grass roots Middleton-Hands evening league in their own words “absolutely enshrines the spirit of village cricket and is something to really shout about.”

BWCC

Each year Broadwindsor Cricket Club are proud to encourage a number of youth and adult players to don pads for the first time whilst being supported by their teammates and competitors up to the standard of seasoned Dorset Premier League & West of England Premier League cricketers.

They also welcome Broadwindsor Primary school children for coaching on Friday afternoons during the summer.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND SUPPORT BROADWINDSOR CRICKET CLUB HERE. Once purchased, the freehold will be placed in a Trust.

GIFT AID:

Broadwindsor Cricket Club are a constituted not-for-profit organisation and are registering as a Community Amateur Sports Club. This allows them to claim GiftAid on donations from tax-paying individuals for whom they have created a set of rewards. Added to this, they also hope to have match funding for all donations. This means your :

£10 donation = £10 from you + £2.50 GiftAid + £10 match funding.

Have You Lost Your Bank Card In Broadwindsor?

It’s a horrible realisation when you discover you have lost your Bank Credit/Debit card.  A Lloyds Bank card was found just outside Broadwindsor Community Stores by a young man yesterday morning.  The name on the card is not a local one so please make sure any visitors are made aware too.

The bank card is currently being held at the shop.  If the owner goes in and can match the details on the card, it will be returned to them. Obviously they cannot hold it indefinitely, so it will be returned to the Bank if no one steps forward.
