SCDFI’s mission is for all young people to have the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket. Inclusivity strikes at the very heart of what we do and is one of the values upon which the charity was founded. We know that in order to achieve our mission we need to sustain and nurture Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) through every part of work. Chance to Shine’s EDI strategy outlines the three outcomes we continue to strive for across our programmes, people and processes. This is underpinned by our EDI policy. It is supported by our work with like minded organisations.
