The sport is to be taken directly to those children who are at the greatest risk of missing out on playing the gameTHROUGH INCLUSIVE programmes being rolled out by the England and Wales Cricket Board , Chance to Shine and Lord’s Taverners, cricket will be taken directly to those children who are at the greatest risk of missing out on playing the game.
Data shows that just under 1.9 million children in England now receive free school meals, a number which has soared with the impacts of the Pandemic and the cost of living crisis, and there are 1.5 million children with special educational needs and disabilities . Research also shows that these children are less likely to be active.
In total, the expanded programmes represent an additional 26,000 hours of curriculum time cricket activity aimed at connecting communities and improving lives. Free school meal eligibility has increased by 32% since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, while children with disabilities are more likely to be less active than children without disabilities. The ECB currently invests approximately £4m per year to support the delivery of school cricket across 7,500 schools and 670,000 children, working with every County Cricket Board across England and Wales.
