Our #TasteOfCricket tour made its second stop this week at the brilliant KRIMMZ GIRLS YOUTH CLUB, run by the inspiring Khadija Patel. Women and children from the local community in Bolton came together to enjoy some cricket taster sessions run by Lancashire Cricket Foundation and delicious food prepared by local passionate chefs who are also members of the club. Curries and samosas were on the menu, fuelling lots of cricket action on the pitch!

Two years ago cricket wasn’t on the agenda for children at Hawthorn Primary School, an inner city state school in Newcastle upon Tyne. But since then, pupils have been getting free coaching funded by the ECB and delivered by Chance to Shine NORTHUMBERLAND CRICKET BOARD LIMITED as part of our increased investment in state school cricket - and the impact has been remarkable. England Men’s Test Captain Ben Stokes visited the school to see for himself how much the children are enjoying it, and the benefits the teachers are seeing. Head teacher Jane Dube writes here about the impact she’s seen: https://lnkd.in/ei-4aKcH This year, working with Chance To Shine, we’re delivering free cricket in more than 4,300 state schools. Many of them are in underserved areas, in schools like Hawthorn where more than 40% of children are eligible for free school meals. In the next five years we aim to reach millions more children so they too can experience the benefits which cricket brings.

Quality Sport and PE in schools isn't just important for children's health, it teaches so many valuable life skills as well. Today England Men's Test Captain Ben Stokes visited Hawthorn Primary School in inner city Newcastle, a state school where cricket wasn't played until 2 years ago. Now children benefit from free sessions funded by the ECB and delivered by Chance to Shine and NORTHUMBERLAND CRICKET BOARD LIMITED. It was clear today how much the children enjoy the sessions, and teachers have noticed positive benefits in the classroom as well. This is why it's so important that politicians ensure there's a minimum two hours' quality PE or sport in school each week as part of the National Curriculum.
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

A year on from the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket report, ECB Chair Richard Thompson reflects on the steps we've taken towards addressing discrimination and making cricket a more inclusive sport, and the work that's still left to do. Lasting, meaningful change is not a quick fix. It will take time, and we will continue to listen and learn along the way. https://lnkd.in/egevZJCy
