The @JohnnersTrust is closing down today after 30 years. We have granted more than £1million to young cricketers and Blind and VI cricket. Our legacy funds will go to the new #VICricketProject in partnership with @ECB_cricket & @LordsTaverners. Thank you to all our supporters.

A big thank you to all at BCEW and the England Blind Women's cricket captain Kathryn @Jelfs666 for inducting the @JohnnersTrust into the Blind Cricket Hall of Fame at @WolverhamptonCC on Saturday. Photo by Martin Humby. @UKBlindCricket @LordsTaverners
If you’re a county age-group cricketer, boy or girl, your coach can apply to us for help towards travel & kit costs. If you’re new to a Women’s Tier Two team you can also now be considered. We are awarding our final grants and have EXTENDED the application window to end May.

So proud that our former Johnners Scholar #BenFoakes took the final Indian wicket with his lightning-fast stumping in the #HyderabadHeist, as well as scoring a vital 34 runs in the second innings in partnership with @OPope32. @JohnnersTrust #CricketTwitter
Each year, we provide a grant to BCEW to fund an annual Development Festival.

A wonderful evening at @ECB_cricket Lord's Long Room for the @JohnnersTrust Dinner! Fabulous company and cuisine and a chance to talk about the VI game with the delightful @AlisonMitchell. VI cricket relies on the kindness of donors and we are so grateful and humbled. Thank you! – at Paddington, London
