Welcome to "The Bat for a Chance Podcast," where we uncover the incredible stories behind Bat for a Chance and the charity's mission to empower men, women and children through cricket.

In this episode, our host cricket influencer and cricket commentator Georgie Heath chats with Will Gaffney, the teenager who founded Bat for a Chance (BFAC) at the tender age of 14. They explore the beginnings of the charity, the hurdles, and the successes of this remarkable charity dedicated to opening doors for children across the world.

Georgie then talks to special guests Temba Bavuma, the Captain of the South Africa and Roland Butcher the former Middlesex and England cricketer. They share their firsthand experiences collaborating with BFAC and the profound impact it's had on both the recipients and themselves, as well as the delivery of BFAC’s projects in South Africa and the launch of the Barbados Royals Girls Cricket Club. Georgie also dives into their personal connections to the cause and discovers how cricket serves as a catalyst for positive change.
