Community Projects

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation works closely with local communities to provide opportunities to access cricket.

We are constantly striving to reach communities that currently have a very limited sporting offer to promote wellbeing.

As a charity, Warwickshire Cricket Foundation are committed to making a difference to local communities within Warwickshire through the power of sport and physical exercise.

WCF works with local organisations such as Birmingham City Football Club Foundation, Birmingham 2022, and Heart of England Community Foundation to plan, coordinate and run projects to proactively engage generations all communities, and ensure cricket is accessible for all.

 

Cricket is an excellent way for bringing people together. We work together with local community groups to promote wellness and well-being. Some of our ongoing programmes can be found below.
