Charity Partners

The Cricketers’ Trust is a registered charity created to support the life-long health and wellbeing of PCA members and their immediate family.

Today’s game is faster, more competitive, more public and more pressurised than ever before.

As professional cricket’s leading charity, they offer welfare, education and a helping hand during difficult times. From medical care and mental health counselling to preventative educational programmes and help with addiction. They are here for people when they need them most.

Early 2018, Ruth Strauss, wife of Sir Andrew Strauss the former England cricket captain, was diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer that affects non-smokers.  Ruth died on December 29th 2018; she was 46 years old and mother to two children, then aged 10 and 13.

In her memory, Sir Andrew has launched The Ruth Strauss Foundation to:

• Provide emotional support for families to prepare for the death of a parent

• Raise awareness of the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancers.
