We Belong

Together we will empower those facing the challenges of inequality and ensure that everyone feels they belong in cricket.

Your donation today will help tackle discrimination, empower young women and enhance communities

£15 could allow one participant to attend cricket sessions for a month.

We believe everyone has a place in cricket, no matter their race, gender or background.

This year, more than ever, we've recognised the issues that can impact the sport and how race, gender or background continue being a barrier to accessing and enjoying the game we love.

This year, more than ever, the young people in our communities need us. The cost-of-living crisis has been more than a headline for many; it has been a brutal reality that has denied many the simple joy of sport, the camaraderie you experience when being part of a team, and the life lessons that group sport teaches us.

We have long delivered safe and inclusive weekly community cricket sessions, that are providing part of the solution to these barriers in communities that need it most. But there is still so much more we can do together to reinforce our fundamental message.

Tackling Discrimination

Through Wicketz, we provide an inclusive environment to access the sport we love, building stronger communities, and a place to listen to one another about their experiences in life.

Empowering Young Women and Girls

By creating safe spaces for young women and girls to participate in and to encourage more equal participation, we can see their growth and development… or even the formation of an independent young girls team!

Find out more about the impact we're having on young women and girls through cricket.

Enhancing Communities

Wicketz is a free community-based cricket programme that allows young people from disadvantaged communities to come together to access cricket and engage in a group that they wouldn't necessarily be involved in. 

Find out more about how we're building stronger communities through Wicketz.
