Russell’s family have requested that there are family flowers only at Russell’s funeral on January 4th.
If anyone would like to make a donation to a cause in Russell’s memory, then the following fund has been set up to help family and friends commemorate Russ in a way he would have liked:

The funds raised will be used to help someone in need of financial help in a cricket context. This may be a young cricketer requiring the opportunity to reach their potential, it could be an aspiring umpire or scorer.
The trustees of the fund (Russell’s wife, Alison and brother, Kevin) will make sure the money goes to a cause which he would have been enthusiastic about.
