FP Markets Sponsors Cricket Brasil Youth Development Programme

Global multi-asset broker FP Markets announced its sponsorship with the Cricket Brasil Youth Development Programme to help children finish education, pursue higher education and build the future of the sport, as a part of the broker's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.

In the initial phase, the sponsorship will focus on three areas - education, infrastructure upgrades and community support.

Through this sponsorship, young Brazilians will have the opportunity to attend university, change their lives and be taught the core values of Respect, Leadership and Community. The environment of the Cricket Brasil school in Pososos de Caldas has been improved. The development of the sport in the local community has also been promoted.

Craig Allison, Chief Executive Officer of FP Markets, said: "FP Markets recognises that being an industry leader requires more than just being exceptional in the trading industry. It involves actively engaging with communities and contributing in ways that can make a real difference to people’s lives. By Supporting Cricket Brasil we know we are making a real difference to the lives of young Brazilians and leaving a long-lasting positive impact on the local community through the glorious game and values set by cricket."

Matt Featherstone, Prensident of Cricket Brasil, said, "Partnerships like this make all the difference.  The expansion of Cricket Brasil as a direct result of this partnership will provide more opportunities for young Brazilians to play the great game as well as join our University Scheme which educates more Cricket Development officers who in turn increase local engagement and participation."
