Essex Cricket will be supporting the Trussell Trust again over the Christmas period to support our local food banks and provide important supplies for people within our community who depend on supplies during an often difficult time of the year.
The Club have supported Food Banks in Chelmsford and Colchester in recent years and we are appealing to our Members, supporters and local residents to join us in helping them once again this Christmas.
