Chance to Shine

The charity in its current form was then founded by Mervyn King, former Governor of the Bank of England, broadcaster Mark Nicholas and cricket equipment manufacturer Duncan Fearnley.

Chance to Shine initially worked by pairing schools with local clubs to provide expertise in their cricket lessons as well as the opportunity to transition if the children were interested.

The charity measures its impact by the improvements in physical, social and mental wellbeing amongst its participants - as well as the growth in their personal development including communication and leadership skills.

The charity also runs an online digital hub, the Chance to Shine Portal, which provides free of charge cricketing resources to coaches, teachers and parents.

Charity data shows that 74% of players are not part of a traditional cricket club before joining their project, whilst 82% of young people who attend Street are from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Trustees include former England cricket captain and World Cup winner Eoin Morgan and former Liberal Democrat MP Danny Alexander.
