Since 2005 Chance to Shine has delivered cricket to more than seven million young people across England, Wales and Scotland. We’re proud of our scale, but equally passionate about the impact our programmes have on children across England, Scotland and Wales.
Our scale is large; we support around 600,000 young people each year. Whilst we are proud of this, it is our impact on young people that is paramount.

Through cricket, children develop a positive relationship with sport. They have fun, develop their skills, and become confident in their abilities. They continue playing in school, at a club or in their community.
Children develop life skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem solving. They are engaged to learn, gain experience in leading and are empowered to make positive decisions for themselves.
Children feel happy, confident, and included when taking part. They develop self-esteem and resilience.
Children develop friendships, gain role models and feel connected to their community.
