A fundraising cricket event organised by Horspath Cricket Club generated £3,000, which was divided equally between Mind and Oxfordshire Mind.
The money was presented at the clubroom, where Olivia White, Oxfordshire Mind’s events and fundraising manager, received a cheque on behalf of the charity.
Funding from the event is intended to support people dealing with mental health difficulties across Oxfordshire and West Berkshire.
A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Mind’s Community Fundraising Team said the proceeds would provide practical help to the one in four people who experience a mental health problem annually.
The Tape Ball Six-a-side Competition took place at the Recreation Ground in Horspath, approximately three miles east of Oxford, on August Bank Holiday Sunday.
Ten teams entered the tournament, bringing together men, women, juniors, friends, supporters and families.
Players wore coloured shirts supplied by Newtrim UK Ltd, while two fixtures were played at the same time throughout the day.
Russell Smith, the cricket club’s secretary, described the event as a collective effort involving every part of the organisation.
He said the strong fundraising total for Mind and Oxfordshire Mind reflected the dedication of those who participated and was a source of pride for Horspath Cricket Club.
