FP Markets enhances its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme with Sponsorship of the Cricket Brasil Youth Development Programme

FP Markets, an Australian forex and CFDs broker, has announced a partnership with Cricket Brasil to support its thriving youth development programme which provides a pathway for children to finish schooling, attend university and build a future around the game. In its initial phase, the sponsorship will focus on supporting 3 specific areas:

1. Education - Helping fund the university education of project leaders (known as the "Black T-shirts") through the Cricket Brasil University Scheme providing young Brazilians access to higher education and providing life-changing opportunities as well as teaching them the key core values of Respect, Leadership and Community.
2. Infrastructure Upgrades - Completion of the Cricket Brasil indoor school and high performance center in Pocos de Caldas, Minas Gerais.
3. Community Support - Supporting the development of local development officers to help grow the game in the local communities.

Craig Allison, CEO, FP Markets commented "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, President Cricket Brasil "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."

Sergio Azevedo, Mayor of Pocos de Caldas: "We are very privileged in Pocos de Caldas to be known as the home of Cricket Brasil. It is a very unique situation in a country synonymous with football that we have more children in the town playing Cricket than Football!"

Fara Gorsi, ICC Development Manager, Americas: " The new partnership formed between FP Markets, (an Australian organization) and Cricket Brasil is a testament to their unequivocal commitment to the game and positively impacting the lives of thousands of young kids. The partnership with FP Markets will aid in the growth and development of the cricket ecosystem. As the natural trailblazers in the region, Cricket Brasil continue to strive for progress and we are very excited and proud to see Cricket Brasil grow from strength to strength in ICC Americas"
