NatWest CricketForce 2008 - the largest volunteer programme in British sport - was launched at Hertford Cricket Club in Hertfordshire on Friday 4 April. The initiative, now in its seventh year, has consistently grown since its inception in 2002 and this year broke records once again as participation levels reached new highs.

The total number of clubs that signed up for NatWest CricketForce was 1365 with approximately 80,000 volunteers descending on their local clubs with drills, paintbrushes and hammers in their hands to renovate clubhouses and grounds. NatWest CricketForce offers cricket fans the opportunity to group together with their friends and families to improve the facilities at their local clubs.
