Middlesex Association for the Blind

What an incredible honour! On Wednesday, four of us from MAB attended His Majesty The King's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace as guests of our Patrons, TRH The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
A once-in-a-lifetime afternoon, and a proud reminder of the support behind our work for blind and partially sighted people across London.

Well done, Hasmukh, enjoy the new season! 🎉😎

Blind cricket starts again next month, and we can’t wait to welcome Hasmukh back into the team again. This spritely gentleman has been playing for Metro since the 1980s.

He’s a completely blind player, and is famous for 2 things:
1. Being impossible to get out when he’s batting
2. Being impossible to get out of the shower after the match

This season, he’ll be joining us again as we travel from Dorset to Lancashire, and all points in between - playing the game we love.

When he’s not playing cricket, Hasmukh is a keen walker, and volunteers one day a week for Middlesex Association for the Blind.

When we grow up, we want to be just like Hasmukh! A true legend of the game.

Part of something bigger than ourselves! Thanks to the Enfield Council who administer the Meridian Water Community Grants - we were lucky enough to receive funding for our work in Enfield. We had a great awards gathering this week. Thanks to Carla, George and the team.
