Community<\/h2>\n

We have an extensive cricket offer for local communities across Warwickshire and Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Our community cricket programmes are enjoyable, competitive, and inclusive. We strive to promote positive physical and mental well-being because we recognise the benefits cricket can offer teenagers and young adults.<\/p>\n

We work with many great cricketing organisations to deliver a wide variety of programmes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n

I oversee multiple community programmes, including ACE, Dynamos Cricket Intro, Chance to Shine Street, and Wicketz. It\u2019s an exciting time for our work, with increased funding and new opportunities to bring cricket to even more areas.<\/p>\n
