Staffordshire Cricket

Staffordshire Cricket is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1196490).

Staffordshire Cricket is a registered charity whose mission is to inspire people in Staffordshire to a lifelong association with cricket through the support and growth of the recreational game in the county. It exists to promote community participation in healthy recreation, including facilities for cricket and other sports in the Historic County of Staffordshire and beyond. Its programmes include Core Cities, which helps predominantly women of South Asian ethnicity take part in cricket, and Community street cricket programmes.

Priority Areas

Staffordshire Cricket gives donations to local organisations and individuals for cricket activities and facilities, and helps cricket clubs and other organisations obtain grant funding, adding its own funds where needed. It supports cricket and other sport for recreation and social welfare, and promotes participation in healthy recreation and education and skills across the cricket network, including playing, coaching, safeguarding, umpiring, groundskeeping and club development. Its programmes include street cricket and targeted work to address inequalities in access for women of South Asian ethnicity. It aims to minimise costs to parents while recognising that a fully funded age-group pathway is beyond its means.
