The Surrey Cricket Foundation is the charity charged with the delivery of recreational cricket in the area. It supports communities, schools and clubs by providing funding, knowledge, coaching and competitions in Surrey and South London. It aims to get more people playing cricket, and in doing so improving health and well-being of the recreational game and identifying young talent for Surrey CCC.
Cricket Builds Hope uses cricket and the spirit of the game as a tool for positive social change in Rwanda. For a minimum of £10 a month you can become a Friend of Cricket Builds Hope and receive exclusive invitations to CBH events throughout the year, including a pre-carols drink from 6pm on 9 December.
