Durham County Cricket Foundation

The Durham County Cricket Foundation uses the power of sport to deliver programmes that fall into one of the following five pillars; Grassroots Sport, Club Development, Health, Education and Social Cohesion.

These programmes will be delivered into our local community which we consider to be County Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria and Teesside. All programmes will be further enhanced by the resources that as a professional sports club Durham CCC are able to use such as Stadium Visits, Professional Cricketers and Match Day events.

We aim to interact with over 50,000 people within our community each year and amongst other things we aim to build self-esteem, to raise expectations, to heighten standards, to offer people the opportunity to become fitter, healthier and more active, to help develop local communities, to tackle issues such as racism, bullying, anti-social behavior and to encourage more people to commit to their education. The Grassroots Sport, Health and Education programmes are already in action with the Foundation looking to begin health and social cohesion programmes in the near future. For further information on these programmes see the additional links.

Durham County Cricket Club and its players are great role models for the local community and the Durham County Cricket Foundation is the way in which we will make sure we make the most use of this status to support our community.

The Durham County Cricket Foundation would like to thank its Main Community Partner, the Esh Charitable Trust, and our partners, Tesco and Northumbrian Water.
