the perfect team to challenge domestic violence
The partnership aims to raise awareness of domestic violence among England Netball’s nationwide membership and raise vital funds to support Refuge’s life saving work.
Cherie Booth, Refuge Patron, launched the partnership in November 2006: “If we are to create a future free from domestic violence, we have to confront domestic violence together. Through England Netball, Refuge will have a powerful voice to speak to women across the country. Together we will stand up and say that we will not tolerate domestic violence.”
The partnership has two clear objectives.
Firstly: to raise general awareness of domestic violence as an issue that is likely to affect many members in some way and educate them on how to recognise domestic violence; how to get help and how to support friends and family members currently experiencing it.
Secondly: to raise vital funds to support Refuge’s work.
Netball is the biggest team participation sport for women in the world, and the game’s governing body, England Netball, has more than 60,000 accredited individual members nationwide, as well as participants at schools and clubs all over the country. It is estimated that more than one million women and girls play netball regularly.

Co-operative International Test Series
England versus Australia
International Netball Is Returning in February 2010!
It’s the return of The Co-operative International Netball Series in February and this time it’s England v number one in the world, Australia.
Following the sell out crowds at last year’s England v Jamaica game, we are expecting demand to be high and the atmosphere to be electric.
The England v Australia game is an imperative competition for both sides of the hemisphere as essential world ranking points are up for grabs. Both teams will demonstrate the ability to think on their feet, showcasing desirable moves and technical skill.
It’s going to be a great spectacle for ongoing netball fans and the perfect opportunity to introduce new spectators to the sport. The series takes place at the following venues
The Echo Arena, Liverpool- Friday 19th February
The Trent FM Arena, Nottingham- Sunday 21st February
The 02 arena, London- Tuesday 23rd February
