It's got bats. It's got balls. And it's back.
It is of course the legendary London Charity Softball League, and now that spring (like love, pollen and countless other pollutants) is very much in the air, it's time to fire up the 2019 season!
Heading into a remarkable 17th year and after a cracking but slightly-condensed-for-park-reasons 2018, everything's now back to full length and full strength, with as many charities competing as the ever-efficient organisers can possibly squeeze in.
It all kicks/bats off from April 29th, with London's parks becoming a hotbed of high-octane bat-on-ball action right through to the Hyde Park finals on Thursday 15th August.
We’re delighted to be lead sponsors for what’s believed to be our 14th year (one year might even include a few minutes to look that up) along with our fellow returning sponsors Bluestep, RNB Group, Bright Spot Fundraising and first-timers Think Consulting, who are all well worth checking out.
Last year’s super-competitive contest saw The Saints (aka St Mungo's) hoisting the Harris Hill Plate, withRNLIbrandishing the Bluestep Shield, and Cancer Research UK crowned Harris Hill Cup champions. But who’ll be taking home the trophies (and those virtually-priceless Harris Hill medals) in 2019?
We’ll have more news during the summer, but meanwhile if you’re keen to catch up on last year’s finals, the brilliant people behind it, or other recent events in the Harris Hill Charity Series (that'll be February's quiz night and the big November bowl), the links below will oblige.
Have a great season!

Open to all: inclusive recruitment in the charity sector
Given that so many work with marginalised or disadvantaged groups of people, you’d expect charities to be more aware than most of the barriers to employment such groups often face, and the need to be more inclusive. Which research suggests that by and large, they are. However research also suggests that in terms of using that awareness to build a more diverse workforce, they’re lagging behind s...
