At Daltons, we like to play our part in the local community.
We are proud of our fund raising record. Each year our staff nominates a Charity of the Year and we host a variety of fund raising events, including our annual charity cricket match. In the past we have raised funds for Hope, Canine Partners, The Naomi White Charity and Rowans Hospice.
Liss Cricket Club
Daltons have sponsored Liss Cricket Club for nearly ten years. The club currently runs 3 Saturday league teams, 1 Sunday friendly team, a midweek team participating in three competitions, an under 15's youth team and an under 11's youth team and has seen a significant rise in on field success over the past few years. The First XI currently compete in the Hampshire County League Division 1. The Club narrowly missed out on promotion to the Southern Premier League last season and are hoping to go one better this year.
Daltons Annual Charity Cricket Shield competition is one of the highlights of our sponsorship events. Now in its ninth year the Daltons team has grown from turning out an eleven with a range of experience from a few who played regularly to those who had never even held a cricket bat! Our match this year is will be held on the 6 August at Liss Cricket Club and with the tally at four match wins apiece you can be sure of an exciting match with all proceeds going to our Charity of the Year.

Jacks Place
Many of you will know of Naomi House which is the childrens hospice for Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Wiltshire and the fringes of West Sussex and Surrey. They help over 220 families with life limiting conditions and support their families.
They are currently running a £12 million appeal to build, equip and run a new establishment, Jack’s Place, which will provide hospice care for young people. The building will include six bedrooms with en suite bathrooms big enough to accommodate wheelchairs, specialist medical equipment and supplies, and to provide privacy, independence and dignity.
The staff at Daltons, their friends and family collect milk bottle tops which are converted into cash for Jack’s Place.

Mill Rythe Infants School
Mill Rythe Infant School, purpose-built in 1974, stands in a delightful natural setting of trees, grassland and shrubs through which paths have been cut to encourage children to explore. It shares this site with the neighbouring Junior School and is a non denominational school catering for both boys and girls.
