Chance to Shine

Chance to Shine is a national charity that aims to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket.

Chance to Shine is a national charity backed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Sport England.

We deliver the majority of our coaching in state primary and secondary schools thanks to funding from Chance to Shine. We also use this funding to run Street Cricket clubs for young people in underserved communities. These clubs take place weekly throughout the year and are free to attend. They are located in easily accessible areas, often within walking distance for participants.
