Attention, Local Business Community!
Join us for the Essex Big Bash, a charity cricket and networking event! We have an exciting T20 Cricket Match – Accountants v Solicitors featuring Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh; The Legendary Fast Bowling Duo.
The event kicks off at midday and there will be lots going on, followed by an early evening networking social event which will include some amazing speakers, raffle, auction, drinks and nibbles.
Supporting Southend Samaritans
This event supports Southend-on-Sea Samaritans.
Samaritans is a charity working to reduce the number of people who die by suicide and help those struggling to cope.Julie Bentley, Samaritans CEO, said:
“Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50, and men make up 75% of all suicides.”Samaritans believes that raising awareness at events like this will help break down stigma, unite people around a shared cause, and contribute to their vision that fewer people die by suicide.
Help Keep Them Listening
With your support, let’s help Southend Samaritans make that vision become a reality.
Funds raised will go directly to help keep the Southend Samaritans listening centre on Victoria Avenue open.
Event Highlights Include:
- Cricket
- BBQ and Drinks
- Ice Cream
- Awards, Raffle, and Auction
- Networking Event from 6.00pm
- And, hopefully, some glorious sunshine!
The event is free to attend, with donations collected on the day.
