About The THL Ashes Fundraising Tour
From November 2025 to January 2026, we held events across five Australian cities. Each event became a platform to spark conversations, strengthen community and shine a light on the current landscape for women and girls in the game, building real momentum for long-term change.
More than 500 supporters joined us throughout Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, helping amplify our mission, deepening the growing network committed to driving equity and inclusion in cricket. From panel discussions with iconic players to intimate community gatherings, the tour demonstrated the passion and collective will to create a better future for the next generation.
Rick’s Pledge
Rick pledged personal donations throughout the tour, based on the people he meets and those who contribute along the way:
- £50 – General Public (Up to £100 if you donate a minimum of £25 AND post a selfie with Rick)
- £250 – Domestic Cricketer
- £500 – Test Cricketer
- £1,000 – Celebrity Outside of Cricket
Why Rick’s Doing It
“Watching my daughters grow through cricket has shown me how vital it is that girls are not just welcomed into the game, but supported to stay in it. That’s how we change cricket for good.” - Rick Johnson
We are incredibly grateful to our tour ambassador, Rick, and his family, without which none of this could have happened.
We would also like to thank our special guests, partners, and every supporter who attended, donated or shared our message. Your belief in this mission fuels everything we do.
