We invite you to become a CATCH Trust Patron, joining a dedicated community of supporters committed to transforming the lives of young cricketers in South Africa’s underserved communities. In 2025, your patronage will directly fund a life-changing opportunity: sending a team of talented young girl cricketers from Khayelitsha to the UK for the Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2026.
For many of these young athletes, this will be their first time traveling abroad—an opportunity to compete, learn from top coaches, experience the global stage, and inspire future generations of female cricketers in South Africa.
