Community

Our goal is to maintain and develop alternative offers to enable all types of people to play formats that suit their communities, abilities and lifestyles.

We will be driven by our belief that no one should be denied the opportunity to play cricket and that playing it can significantly improve people’s lives in all sorts of ways.

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation has a extensive cricket offer for local communities in Birmingham and Warwickshire.

Our community cricket offer is enjoyable, competitive, and inclusive. We strive to promote positive physical and mental well-being because we recognise the benefits that cricket can offer teenagers and young adults.

WCF collaborates with many great cricketing organisations to deliver a wide variety of programmes. Learn more about how you can get involved in cricket in the community you live in below.

I oversee our multiple community programs which include ACE, Dynamos Intro, Core Cities, Chance to Shine Street and the Wicketz program; it is an exciting time for our programmes with funding increasing and new opportunities to take cricket into new areas.
