Meet the People of The LBW Trust
The LBW Trust is powered by a passionate community committed to levelling the playing field in education. Through three key committees, we drive impactful initiatives:
- The Education Committee provides scholarships and resources to students in developing nations.
- The National Backyard Cricket Committee raises funds through community cricket events to support rural and remote Australian libraries and educational programs in cricket-playing developing nations.
- The Women for Change Committee empowers women and girls through education, fostering equality in developing countries.
Together, the three committees help The LBW Trust create lasting opportunities for disadvantaged young people worldwide.
The LBW Trust Events
Each year, The LBW Trust holds a range of unique events for the wider community and corporates, where cricket is the connective tissue to fundraise to level the global playing field in education.
Upcoming 2025 events include the T10 2025 National Backyard Cricket Tournament in Sydney and Melbourne in March 2025.
Critical Conversations
Launched in 2024, Critical Conversations is a proprietary event of The LBW Trust.
Each Critical Conversation is a thought-provoking discussion on pathways to a better future in Australia and globally.
The inaugural Critical Conversations, The Critical Minerals, Mining and ESG Summit, was held on August 2nd, 2024 in Western Australia’s Swan Valley.
The Summit brought industry leaders together for conversations on bridging the gap between resource wealth and educational opportunities.
In the afternoon the Critical Conversations continued on the cricket pitch with a T10 Cricket Tournament.
