Francis Louis Global Community Programme

Charity work Ghana Cricket

Our journey in Ghana began with a simple ambition: to grow the game of cricket and transform young lives through sport. What started as a grassroots project has since developed into a long-term commitment to education, opportunity, and community support.

Initially, Francis Louis donated 21 bags of cricket equipment, clothing, and toys to local schools and orphanages, alongside delivering mass coaching sessions for hundreds of children and training local teachers and coaches to ensure the programme could continue independently. We also funded a professional artificial wicket and batting net facility, providing the school with its first dedicated cricket infrastructure.

Building on this, we organised Ghana’s first youth cricket festival, welcoming more than 200 children from 12 schools, and facilitated the donation of £100,000 worth of hardball cricket equipment to ensure every participating school had the tools to develop structured cricket programmes.

Our impact has since expanded beyond sport. We now sponsor individual children, support education initiatives, and regularly collect and ship donations for local orphanages and families in the surrounding community.

Francis Louis is committed to returning year after year, continuing to invest in facilities, coaching, education, and community support—using sport as a powerful vehicle to inspire confidence, create opportunities, and change lives.

Young People into Sport – Cost-Free Access and Opportunity

Francis Louis is committed to removing financial and social barriers that prevent young people from accessing sport. At a local level, the company fully sponsors youth team kits, removes match fees, and funds annual tours to major UK cities such as London and Manchester. These tours provide young players and their families with unique opportunities, including visits to major sports stadiums—often their first ever —creating memorable experiences and broadening horizons far beyond the cricket field.

Alongside this, Francis Louis has played a pivotal role in transforming the local cricket community through sustained investment in Cullompton Cricket Club’s youth programme.

Over the past six years, the youth section has grown from a single team of 12 boys to a thriving programme supporting over 150 young players, with structured development pathways and equal opportunities for both boys and girls.

This investment has helped establish Cullompton as one of the leading grassroots cricket clubs in the region, delivering high-quality coaching, inclusive participation, and a strong community focus for families across Mid Devon.

By removing cost barriers and creating access to elite experiences, Francis Louis is helping young people build confidence, develop life skills, and enjoy the benefits of sport in a supportive and inclusive environment.
