About us
Chance to Shine is an independent, registered charity (number 1123385) on a mission to spread the power of cricket throughout schools and communities. Since 2005 our Chance to Shine Schools programme has helped reverse the decline in cricket in state schools. Working in close partnership with all 39 County Cricket Boards and hundreds of local cricket clubs, we’ve got over four million boys and girls in more than 15,000 schools playing and learning through cricket. Chance to Shine Street takes the game and its educational benefits to inner-city areas affected by youth crime and anti-social behaviour. We’re using the power of cricket to engage young people from a range of backgrounds, increase aspiration and promote respect.

Inspiring the next generation of leaders ❤️ Today England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) captain Ben Stokes joined us at Hawthorn Primary in the centre of Newcastle, a school that has fully embraced cricket through the Chance to Shine programme and our partners at Northumberland County Cricket Board. Last year 60% of the 4,357 schools we worked in had a higher than average number of pupils eligible for free school meals. Statistically we know these children are less likely to be active and often lack access to facilities outside of school. What we also know is when given the chance, these children can fall in love with the game of cricket. This is so much more than just a bat and ball; the confidence, resilience, leadership and life skills that pupils pick up from our programme is proven. Ben's visit gave them a small glimpse at where those vital traits can take you in life. We echo the calls for the government elected at the general election to guarantee every child at least two hours of physical education in schools each week. #inspiring #leadership #schools #sport

Chance to Shine reposted this
What a wonderful way to spend the day, on what feels like the first day of summer at Dulwich cricket ground, playing cricket and raising funds for Chance to Shine. Equitix planned the cricket tournament day with 7 other corporate firms to raise funds for this fantastic sporting children's charity - which has been a tremendous success. All executed of course, with the support of our fantastic players, events and support team and all the participating teams. #equitix #cricket #lastinglegacy #teamplayer #charity

Do you know an unsung hero in grassroots and community cricket? Get nominating 👇
⭐️ Calling all Community Cricket Heroes ⭐️ MCC has today launched its Community Cricket Heroes campaign for 2024 to find 11 unsung cricketing heroes from across the country. The campaign, which is now in its second year and run in partnership with The Cricketer magazine, saw 11 heroes of grassroots cricket welcomed to Lord’s last June for a day of the England v Ireland Men’s Test match, watching on from the prestigious President’s Suite. Last year’s winners included Lachlan Smith, the founder of Birmingham Unicorns, one of the world’s only LGBTQ+ cricket clubs; Taj Butt, a groundsman from Bradford who has driven girls cricket participation and used cricket to support the education of young people in his local community and Sheena Recaldin, who helped save her local village cricket club in Kent following the Covid pandemic. Another one of last year’s winners, James Worstead, from Sussex, who helped develop a cricket club for refugees in Northern France, said of his experience: “It was my first ever trip to Lord’s, a place I never thought I would visit. To have come for the first time in those circumstances made it all the more surreal and it was an absolute privilege.” This year, another XI MCC Community Cricket Heroes will be chosen from the nominations by a special panel consisting of Arfan Akram, Mike Gatting, Dr Sarah Fane, and one of last year’s winners, Lachlan Smith. The panel will be chaired by former England international and MCC Chair of Cricket, Claire Taylor. Nominate yours now 👉 lords.org/heroes #Community #Grassroots #Volunteers #Sports
