Moral Re-Armament
When not playing cricket, Dodds worked for Moral Re-Armament in the East End of London, and then further afield. Playing cricket as an amateur in 1946, he turned professional – unusual for a former public schoolboy – from 1947 and he gave the money from his benefit match to Moral Re-Armament projects in India. He worked on projects worldwide for the group after he retired from cricket.
