Families invited to Leicester charity cricket day in aid of LOROS
Leicester East MP Shivani Raja is encouraging families, cricket fans and residents from across the area to attend a charity cricket event raising money for LOROS.
The community fundraiser will take place on Monday, 31 August 2026, from 11am to 5pm at Rushey Fields Recreation Ground on Harrison Road, Leicester.
Organised during the Bank Holiday, the event will feature cricket activities for people of all ages and abilities. Visitors will be able to take part, whether they are regular players or trying cricket for the first time.
The event is also intended to bring local communities together, promote community cohesion and celebrate Leicester’s diversity. Community leaders from across the area have been invited to attend.
Families will be able to enjoy cricket, refreshments from food vendors and time outdoors, while supporting LOROS, the hospice charity serving Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Ms Raja said: “I am delighted to invite families, cricket lovers and communities from Leicester East and beyond to join us for this fantastic charity event in support of LOROS.
“It will be a great opportunity for people to come together, enjoy cricket, food and the outdoors, and help strengthen community connections. Whether you want to play, support the participants or simply enjoy the day, everyone is welcome.”
All money raised will go towards LOROS’s work providing hospice care and support to local people and their families.
