Our History
In 1950, a group of cricket enthusiasts from the world of sport and entertainment gathered at the famous Tavern at Lord's Cricket Ground and decided they would form a club to give something back to those less fortunate than themselves. That ethos remains true to this day with our free inclusive and impactful cricket programmes, empowering thousands of young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities to overcome the challenges of inequality, raise their aspirations and reach their potential.

The eclectic blend of members from the world of show business and cricket continued to grow, with the likes of John Arlott, Brian Johnston and Sir Pelham Warner all joining the ‘Tavs’, providing the basis for regular fundraising events.
