Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation

“The coaching was outstanding. The coaches helped us to improve our game.” Our two annual residential trips to Arundel, in partnership with the Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation, provide an opportunity for children from disadvantaged areas of London to visit and play cricket at one of the UK’s most picturesque cricket grounds. Beyond the cricket, however, these trips have a far greater impact on the children taking part.

For some, it is their first experience of being away from London, for most it is their first experience of being away without their parents/family and for everyone it is an opportunity to meet new people from different backgrounds and parts of London. These trips not only develop cricketing skills, but also important life and social skills such as resilience, communication and independence.
