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.
