Sussex Cricket Foundation Workplace B’Ashes

The Sussex Cricket Foundation’s annual Workplace B’Ashes fundraiser has become a big hit during the summer, and 2025 was no exception!

On Friday 22nd August, sixteen teams from eleven local businesses took part in the fun and inclusive soft ball cricket tournament on the hallowed turf at The 1st Central County Ground, Hove.

Playing a round-robin of group matches, followed by semi-finals and some friendlies – the teams battled it out throughout the day to decide the eventual champions. In the early-evening sun and in front of an enthusiastic crowd, the Sussex Cricket Foundation’s own team defeated Dotsquares in a very competitive final to claim the title!

The B’Ashes has become a firm favourite of many local companies, providing a fantastic corporate day out and raising important funds for the Foundation’s unfunded community-based programmes such as Walking Cricket and Sporting Memories.

As Sussex Cricket’s charitable arm, our aim is to actively change lives through cricket across the community. We use the game to deliver accessible and enjoyable opportunities that grow the sport, tackle inequalities, improve health and wellbeing and enable people to fulfil their potential.

Through our activities, we look to make cricket accessible to all, no matter what type of cricket experience people are looking for. To find out more about our work or how you can support, please visit sussexcricket.co.uk/sussex-cricket-foundation.
