Help to inspire young people through cricket
Our programmes give children the chance to not only play cricket, but grow a love for the sport, learn vital life skills, improve wider wellbeing and fulfil their potential.
OUR REACH
Our scale is large. We Target to reach over half a million children each year in state schools and communities across India,In total we target to bring cricket to more than seven million young people by 2030.
OUR IMPACT
Our work prioritises young people who have fewer opportunities to play cricket. Our focus is evident to show that no matter where children live, they see personal, physical, social and mental health benefits from our programmes.
IT'S FREE
Cost is a huge barrier to participation in sport and so all our sessions are free for children to attend. We target to raise at least £6 million each year to keep it that way.
