Let's make cricket a game for all

#GAMEFORALL

The MCC Foundation enjoyed a memorable day at the Home of Cricket on Friday 27 September, as the England v Australia Men's ODI was dedicated to MCCF's ongoing work across the UK to make cricket a game for all.

An MCCF Guard of Honour welcomed the England and Australia Men's teams onto the Main Ground.

 

Male and female beneficiaries from across our Hubs formed a Guard of Honour before the match and took part in pitch activation during the mid-innings interval. MCCF volunteers were present around the Ground throughout the day, and Lord's ran a special re-cup scheme for the fixture. In total, an estimated £32,000 was raised for the Foundation.

MCCF's Operations Director, Angus Berry, was interviewed live on Sky Sports, whilst our Head of Communications, James Bailey, interviewed England player and MCCF Ambassador, Saqib Mahmood, on what state school cricket means to him. ECB's CEO, Richard Gould, spoke on BBC's Test Match Special about ECB's and MCCF's joint mission to nurture state school talent. One year on from MCC's and ECB's combined injection of £1m into the Foundation's National Hub Programme, the number of MCCF Hubs has risen from 77 to 126, accommodating some 4,700 talented young state school cricketers, an increase of 1,500 from 2023.

MCCF will be running 160 Hubs this coming winter for approximately 6,200 players.

MCCF beneficiaries took part in pitch activation during the mid-innings interval.

 

We would like to say a special thank you to our brilliant volunteers and to everyone at MCC and ECB for supporting us in amplifying our message around the Ground and beyond.
