A celebration of women in the North East

From grassroots to global stars, we’re proud to champion their talent and inspire the next generation.

David Jackson, Marketing Director at Durham Cricket, expressed his support for the partnership: “We’re pleased to partner with CoppaFeel! for our first Women in Sport Fixture at The Banks Homes Riverside, a landmark event that celebrates the incredible talent and passion of women in our region.
“This match is a powerful statement. It raises awareness, shines a spotlight on elite female athletes, and brings people together.”
Zsuzsi Kiss, Spokesperson on behalf of CoppaFeel!, also shared their thoughts: “At CoppaFeel! we want everyone to have the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. We want to live in a world where all breast cancers in young people are diagnosed at the earliest stage possible, when treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher.
“CoppaFeel! are hugely grateful to Durham Cricket for supporting us with their brilliant Women in Sport Fixture, which will raise funds and awareness that will help us reach more young people and ultimately save more lives.”
