Eddie Ballard (formerly Club & Community Manager) has been appointed to the role of Programme Manager (Disability & Chance to Shine Street) at Cricket East.
Eddie said: “The first part of my role is overseeing the full disability programme in Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, this includes Table Cricket and Super 1s. I will be looking for SEN schools to take part in the Table Cricket six-week programme which will culminate with a tournament in March and also setting up Community Hubs across the area to begin in the New Year.
“The second part of my role is to manage the Chance to Shine Street programme where we already have a couple of groups running and we are aiming to have seven active groups operating throughout the year.”
