HELLO!
Hello and welcome to the second edition of On Target. Thanks to your generosity and enthusiasm, 2010
has been a busy year for The Joanna Brown Trust. We are very grateful to all those who ran, cycled,
climbed, zumba-ed (if that's a word), to their supporters and everyone who attended any of our various
fundraising events throughout the year. As a close friend of Jo's, I know how happy and proud she would
be to know that so much sporting endeavour (and fun) is being carried on in her name.
We aim to support as broad a range of sporting talent as possible. To all the athletes who have received
funding through our partnerships with Sport Islington, Sports Aid, Malvern Hills District Council and the
England Cricket Board so far, we wish them continued success for next year and beyond.
Having travelled extensively with Jo, it makes me personally very proud to see the JB Trust contributing to
community sport projects in developing countries. We look forward to the opening of the Joanna Brown
dormitory at the Magic Bus outdoor activities centre in Mumbai and hope that our donation to the
Phelisanong project in Lesotho continues to assist that community in its remarkable AIDS outreach program.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and happy 2011.

BARNARD’S GREEN CC
Earlier this year, the JB Trust donated £9,000 to Barnard's Green Cricket Club in Malvern for the construction of its new cricket net facility. The England Cricket
Board also contributed to the project. The club chairman, Andy Lamb, expressed his thanks to the Trust:
trum of coaching to take place simultaneously. The
ability to give one to one sessions on technique has
proved particularly beneficial. To be able to do this
on top class reliable surfaces can only enhance confidence in both young and established cricketers.
“The installation of the new non-turf three lane cricket
net facility at our main ground at North End Lane has
had a significant effect on the development of players
at the club.
We are highly indebted to The Joanna Brown Trust in
getting this project to completion. The Joanna Brown
Trust can be justifiably proud of its role and of the
enduring legacy that this project will play in maintaining participation in sport for young people locally.”
This has meant that we are now able to utilise all our
coaches to the full and that there is enough flexibility
through our programmes to enable a complete spec-

PROJECT INDIA UPDATE
The JB Trust has donated £25,000 to
Magic Bus, an Indian charity
which uses sport and the outdoors as
a medium to help underprivileged
children discover their true potential.
Our donation is being used to fund
the construction of a new dormitory at
the Magic Bus Centre for Learning and
Development outside Mumbai. After a
slight delay and the long monsoon
season, the construction is finally
underway and is expected to be completed in April or May 2011.

Barnard’s Green Cricket Club Nets
Meanwhile, life at the Magic Bus Centre has been very busy, with hundreds
of at-risk and marginalised children regularly taking part in camps at
the Centre and going on daytrips to
the surrounding hills. The Centre held
its first Outdoor Championship in
August, where teams from 4 local
schools and 1 NGO participated. For
