The Foundation of Goodness was established in 1999 and has worked extensively to develop a one of a kind holistic rural community development model over the past 25 years, completing humanitarian initiatives to the value of USD 24 million. In 2023 alone, despite struggles brought on by the Sri Lankan Economic Crisis, the Foundation of Goodness was able to deliver a wide range of programmes to over 135,000 beneficiaries from 854 villages across Sri Lanka, free of charge, via our 10 empowerment divisions: Business Skills and Enterprise, Women’s Empowerment, Special Needs, Language and Arts, Sports Development, Medical, Dental and Psychosocial Support, Children and Youth Development, Environment and Water, Rural Welfare & Development and Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres. The Foundation of Goodness also provides opportunities for volunteerism and has established its own Sustainable Income Generation avenues.

In addition to its flagship venue and project headquarters, the OYOB Centre of Excellence and Sports Academy in Seenigama, the Foundation of Goodness has also branched out to offer its key courses and resources to distant rural villages via Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres. These centres strive to empower disadvantaged communities so that they may have equal opportunities to excel in life. As the nerve centre of the village, the Village Heartbeat concept works to give underprivileged villagers access to skills that will enable them to develop to their full potential and offer courses in areas such as IT, children’s educational classes, women’s empowerment, life values and life skills development.

The Foundation of Goodness has already established 19 Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres across the island; Ahangama (Galle District), Jayanthipura (Polonnaruwa District), China Bay (Trincomalee District), Mahiyangana (Badulla District), Maskeliya (Nuwara Eliya District), Ragala (Nuwara Eliya District), Kothmalae (Nuwara Eliya District) , Hatton (Nuwara Eliya District), Mathagal (Jaffna District), Pallai (Kilinochchi District), Oddusuddan (Mullaitivu District), Puthiyanagar (Mullaitivu District), Eravur (Batticaloa District), Thirukkovil (Ampara District), Dambulla (Matale District), Bandarawela (Badulla District, Central Region), Hingurukaduwa (Monaragala District), Udumulla (Galle Districtand Rathgama (Galle District) with plans currently underway to construct more Centres.

My daughter is 14 and quite a talented young cricketer but decided not to play this season as she was inspired by the Matilda’s and wants to play Football.
I spoke to a couple of the committee members in our local competition, and they said for the first time in a couple of seasons their numbers are down in girl’s cricket.
I wonder if other competitions and clubs are experiencing the same.

Embracing the Future of Fundraising in Sports Clubs.

As we navigate the digital age, sports clubs must evolve with the changing times. Traditional fundraising methods, while they have their merits, often fall short in the face of the convenience, accessibility, and broad appeal that digital fundraising tools offer. It's time to break away from the constraints of old-school techniques and embrace the modern, tech-driven approach that can bring about a significant positive change in your club's fundraising endeavours.

So, what's stopping you? Start today by exploring the myriad digital fundraising tools available, selecting one that fits your needs, and integrating it into your club's operations. Remember, the journey towards successful digital fundraising does not end with the selection of an app. Promote your cause, engage your audience, track your progress, and continually refine your strategy based on the insights gained. The future of fundraising is already here, and it's digital!

Every step forward, every dollar raised, makes a difference in enhancing the experiences of the athletes in your club. So, take the plunge into the digital world of fundraising. After all, a sports club is not just a team, it's a community, and leveraging technology allows this community to grow stronger, together.

Utilising Technology and Apps to Streamline Fundraising in Your Sports Club

Fundraising plays a pivotal role in the operation of sports clubs. It provides the necessary financial support for equipment purchases, facility upgrades, travel expenses, and other essential costs that keep the club running smoothly. Without successful fundraising, many clubs would struggle to meet their operational needs and achieve their objectives.

However, traditional fundraising methods have their fair share of challenges. These may include time-intensive planning and execution, limited reach, difficulties in tracking donations, and challenges in engaging potential donors. Furthermore, traditional methods such as sponsorship drives, bake sales, and charity matches often require significant manpower and resources to manage.

Paul Mulvany voted in as Roseville District Cricket Clubs 32nd Life Member
This evening at our Annual General Meeting, Paul Mulvany was nominated and unanimously voted in as Roseville District Cricket Clubs 32nd Life Member.
Starting his career at Roseville in 1998/99, Paul had amassed over 5000 runs including 3 centuries for the club currently sitting as the club’s 13th overall highest run scorer.
With just over 350 dismissals to his name Paul leads the club for all time dismissals by a wicket keeper, surpassing club legends such as Evans and Ireland a few seasons ago.
A few years ago, Paul was named in Roseville District Cricket Clubs Team of the Century at our Centenary Dinner.
With over 250 games played for the club, Paul is still an active player and is currently the captain of our Classics Over 50s side, whilst also filling in regularly as our 1st Grade Wicket Keeper.
Paul has sat out on the management committee on several occasions and has been on the executive as Chairman of Selectors.
Paul’s outstanding service to the club both in and off the field makes him a very well deserving recipient of this honour joining a list of 31 club greats to have put on the baggy blue and white to play for Roseville Cricket Club.
Please join us in congratulating Paul on this amazing achievement.
