Chance to Shine

Chance to Shine is an independent, registered charity (number 1123385) on a mission to spread the power of cricket throughout schools and communities. Since 2005 our Chance to Shine Schools programme has helped reverse the decline in cricket in state schools. Working in close partnership with all 39 County Cricket Boards and hundreds of local cricket clubs, we've got over four million boys and girls in more than 15,000 schools playing and learning through cricket. Chance to Shine Street takes the game and its educational benefits to inner-city areas affected by youth crime and anti-social behaviour. We're using the power of cricket to engage young people from a range of backgrounds, increase aspiration and promote respect.
