Chance to Shine Street Cricket
Chance to Shine is a national charity that aims to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and
develop through cricket.
Chance to Shine Street is a community based project and brings cricket to thousands of young people
who traditionally face barriers to getting active. It uses the sport to increase aspiration, promote social
cohesion and create opportunities in diverse communities and areas of deprivation.
The projects are run continuously throughout the year and will move inside or outside depending on the
weather. Street projects are run national and Chance to Shine host regional and national competition
which we would look to enter.
