Cricket East

Throughout April, a number of our Wicketz Development Officers and Lord’s Taverners staff will be taking part in a challenge to raise funds for our Lord’s Taverners Wicketz programme.

Wicketz is a community cricket programme targeting young people aged 8-19 in areas of deprivation. We use cricket as a tool to engage young people with a weekly community hub, and use those sessions not only for sport, but to deliver important messages and education around things that negatively affect young people and their communities.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone, but in particular our participants who have had this free weekly provision taken away for the last year. This is why our team have decided to take on the challenge of running/cycling/swimming/walking the distance between our most southerly and most northerly Wicketz projects, Plymouth to Glasgow and back over the course of April. We have rounded this up to make it 1,000 miles!
