The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation supports ACE through its mission to support diverse talent from grassroots to elite levels through talent pathways, elite academies, and workforce development.
We aim to engage young people of African and Caribbean heritage in order to increase the numbers playing cricket.
Through establishing talent pathways and talent identification systems by providing sessions we increase the opportunities for local black communities to engage in cricket.
Our goal is to enter new areas and reach children who have not been involved in cricket at all, and helping cricket rebuild connections with communities that have become disengaged from it. The reality is that it’s a significant, ambitious challenge, but that’s been our focus for the past five years.
