Chance to Shine Annual Review 2014

CHANCE TO SHINE ANNUAL REVIEW 2014

OUR IMPACT EXPLAINED

CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME

‘To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often’, so said the great Winston Churchill. 2014 was a time of change for the charity. We have a new chief executive, Luke Swanson, at the helm, several new Trustees have recently come on board and, as you can see, we have a brand new look.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the outgoing chairman, Adrian Beecroft, who has successfully governed the charity over the past six years and generously supported the charity personally. I am delighted that Charlotte Edwards, Garri Jones and Caspar Rock have joined me and our existing trustees on the Board. I would also like to wish Wasim Khan all success in his new role with Leicestershire County Cricket Club. Wasim was an inspirational chief executive of Chance to Shine and helped bring the benefits of cricket to two and half million children in state schools.

Five years ago, I was chairman of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal which raised £1million for the charity. I saw at first hand the fantastic work that the team here is doing, so when I was asked to consider the role of Chance to Shine chairman, I did not hesitate in accepting.

We are grateful for the continued support we receive from England & Wales Cricket Board, Sport England and our generous corporate and individual donors who make Chance to Shine possible.

You can see in this annual review the real impact we are making to hundreds of thousands of young people’s lives across the country. And also what is at stake if we do not continue to raise at least £5million needed each year to keep the programme running. These are exciting times. We have a new five-year plan starting in October and a new mission: to inspire a further one million young people by 2020. There is a new chapter to be written. A second innings (but not the last) to be played. Will you join us? I very much hope so.

Donald Brydon Chairman, Chance to Shine

OUR MISSIONTO SPREAD THE POWER OF CRICKET IN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES, INSPIRING ONE MILLION MORE YOUNG PEOPLE BY 2020.

We spent time in 2014 listening to our partners and supporters to improve how we work. The consultation helped inform our strategy and our branding.

We have a new, ambitious mission for the next five years: to spread the power of cricket in schools and communities, inspiring one million more young people by 2020.

It will help us work towards our ultimate vision of giving all young people the opportunity to play and learn through cricket.

Confusion around our brand was a recurring theme in our research so we decided to make it simple. Our most recognisable and popular brand, Chance to Shine, is now the charity’s name (replacing Cricket Foundation). Our two programmes will be called ‘Chance to Shine Schools’ and ‘Chance to Shine Street’ (replacing

‘StreetChance’). These changes will help us communicate our work and our achievements much more effectively in future, providing a strong, united brand for the next chapter in our history.

To reflect the changes, we have created a new logo. It’s based on the idea of ‘spreading the power of cricket’. The visual concept comes from the combination of a batsman’s wagon wheel graphic and a spark.

The lines in the logo represent how we spread cricket far and wide. The spark comes from the ‘Shine’ part of our name and represents the positive benefits cricket ignites in young people, like teamwork, passion, friendship, discipline and respect. Our day-to-day work and behaviour are underpinned by a new set of core values: inspiring, ambitious, inclusive, passionate and fun.

We are now very well placed to make sure Chance to Shine’s next innings is as successful as our first.

THE SPARK OF DEVELOPMENT

It’s about a bullied boy who makes friends for the first time, or the misbehaving girl who is a victim of neglect at home but finds her niche in cricket at school and becomes a model student.

These are real Chance to Shine stories. This is the power of cricket.

Chance to Shine is much more than cricket. It’s about increased confidence, improved social skills and enhanced teamwork among classmates.

\ 09THE SPARK OF DEVELOPMENT


Teachers report how Chance to Shine Schools coaching sessions help improve attendance, behaviour, concentration and general attitude towards education.

Cricket in the playground makes pupils calmer in the classroom and helps cross cultural divides. At Pikes Lane Primary in Bolton, 98 per cent of pupils speak English as a second language. Twenty-eight different languages are spoken at the school, but cricket has helped overcome barriers and has united the children.

Chance to Shine is also helping to improve young people’s social skills and their ability to work as a team, according to teachers. One coach in Buckinghamshire describes how he gave a group of poorly behaved students the responsibility to lead their own session. For the first time, the class worked together, with everyone fully participating in the game. The quieter pupils showed their leadership skills and all the teachers agreed they had never seen the class behave in such a collaborative way before.

We’re not just spreading cricket. We’re spreading the power of cricket.

DELIVERING EDUCATIONALBENEFITS

Harry Walters, 11, has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His experiences of school sport before Chance to Shine were negative. He didn’t like people in his personal space so there would always be arguments with his classmates, with pushing and shoving, when playing contact sports. That all changed when Harry found cricket. He took the opportunity, through Chance to Shine, to be a mascot and guard of honour at an international match at the Kia Oval and from that day he was hooked.

His mum Sam explains, “He hadn’t played or had any interest in cricket before, but after that it was cricket, cricket, cricket. He watched all the matches, he wanted his own cricket bat and now even sleeps with it when he goes to bed!”

Harry’s behaviour in class and on the playing field has improved as he’s learned to control his temper and accept the rules of the game. His teachers have also noticed an increase in his concentration during lessons. Harry has even joined his local cricket club – the first club he’s joined outside of school. His mum is delighted with the impact cricket has had on her son: “I’m so pleased he’s found something he likes and is confident at playing.

“I’m sure cricket will always be a part of Harry’s life.”

“I REALLY CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH THE WAY IN WHICH CRICKET IMPACTS UPON EVERY AREA OF CHILDREN’S LIVES AND THEIR LEARNING. IT’S AMAZING TO SEE THEM AFTER THEY’VE BEEN PLAYING CRICKET, HOW HAPPY THEY ARE WHEN THEY COME BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM.”Ms McArdle, Headteacher Pikes Lane Primary

THE POWER OF CRICKET #1:HARRY WALTERS



KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

WE DELIVERED WORKSHOPS ON A RANGE OF ISSUES, SUCH AS THE DANGERS OF GANGS, GUNS, KNIVES AND DRUG ABUSE. REGIONAL POLICE FORCES, CHARITIES AND INDIVIDUAL EXPERTS ATTENDED A NUMBER OF OUR WEEKLY COMMUNITY SESSIONS AND HOLIDAY COMPETITIONS TO GIVE ENGAGING AND OFTEN HARD-HITTING TALKS.

Ahwais Khan, 16, from Saltley in Birmingham joined Chance to Shine Street as a 12 year-old. Ahwais was a handful for his teachers. “I was disturbing lessons and getting loads of detentions,” he admits, “It definitely affected my grades. Outside school I was mixing with the wrong crowd and just messing about.”

Since he started on the Street programme Ahwais has made the school cricket team every year and has even become captain. “I would never, ever have got near that team. It’s given me loads of confidence and responsibility. I’ve matured a lot from it.”

His improved behaviour has also helped with his studies. “I’ve been on the right path for a couple of years now, improving my behaviour, improving my grades,” he explains, “At the moment I’m passing all my exams. I’ve not had one detention all year.”

Ahwais has no regrets moving away from his old circle of friends: “Now I see them just hanging around on the streets. Some have got in trouble with the police for knife crime. That would definitely be me if I hadn’t got involved in the Street programme.”

THE POWER OF CRICKET #2:AHWAIS KHAN

TRANSFORMINGINNER-CITIES

We are changing the landscape of inner-city cricket development. We have worked with county cricket boards to embrace the opportunity to reach previously untapped cricketers who weren’t part of the traditional cricket set-up.

Last year Chance to Shine Street (formerly ‘StreetChance’) offered young people in urban areas a different way to engage in the game, with a format that better suited their lifestyle. We also identified and trained young coaches from inner-cities to deliver in their local areas. Many of the coaches are former participants and have become positive role models in these communities.

Loughborough University evaluated the impact of our Chance to Shine Street programme on young people.

They highlighted the increase in transferrable ‘soft’ skills among participants who developed confidence, tolerance and co-operation. This improved their academic results and made them better prepared for employment. Further research by the New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) think-tank last year found that the Street programme was engaging ‘a small but significant group’ at risk of committing crime and anti-social behaviour. By providing ‘diversionary’ activities for this group and ‘safe havens’ for the rest of the participants, NPC explained that projects were effectively delivered in a way that could help reduce youth crime.

As one Chance to Shine Street participant explained, “It does help prevent young people from getting in trouble, because it helps you to stay off the streets.”

“CHANCE TO SHINE STREET HAS OPENED DOORS INTO THE HEART OF COMMUNITIES AND ENABLED US TO DELIVER THE WIDER BENEFITS OF TAKING PART IN SPORT.”Steve Archer, Yorkshire Cricket Board



We train teachers to take cricket sessions. That way, we ensure the game will flow through the school and continue long after our coaches have left. In 2014, we gave 14,000 teachers the skills and the confidence they needed to lead cricket sessions by themselves.

Staff attended high quality, informal coaching sessions either after school or during their own internal training days. Chance to Shine Schools coaches provided them with professional guidance on how to teach cricket to different class sizes and abilities.

These popular, interactive sessions covered coaching cricket skills, drills and games. We also gave them coaching cards and resources to take away after the training session.

Teachers’ involvement in Chance to Shine Schools curriculum sessions is fundamental to the ongoing success of the programme. We insist on it and they are only too happy to oblige.

Our coaches have enthused thousands of teachers to play, enjoy and share our passion for the game which has had a positive knock-on effect on pupils.

Head of PE at Nursling Primary School, Sharon White, described the impact of the coaching on her colleagues, saying, “All staff had to attend their sessions and all of them gained lots of good tips and found them fun, but constructive. Every single teacher said they would be able to put on a session and indeed they did.”

EMBEDDING A CULTURE OF CRICKET

No cricket was played at Baylis Girls School in Berkshire in 2013. By the end of last summer, the school had a blossoming school cricket club with a membership of 80 students.

The club’s committee organised a trip to watch the England Women’s Test match against India at Wormsley cricket ground and also set up a school visit by England captain Charlotte Edwards and Heather Knight. Cricket is now booming at Baylis!

“WE HAVE CRICKET EQUIPMENT BUT WE’VE NEVER REALLY KNOWN HOW TO USE IT IN PE. NOW WE HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS FOR LESSONS.” Year 5 teacher, Boothwood Primary School

We’ve placed a major emphasis on secondary schools in 2014. Our increase in funding for this area, thanks to a National Lottery grant through Sport England, is starting to reap its rewards.

Building on solid foundations from 2013, we engaged 1,332 secondary schools and academies, an increase of 46 per cent on the previous year.

Secondary state schools have previously been a difficult nut to crack for Chance to Shine. But we’re now making serious inroads. School cricket, or ‘satellite’, clubs led by young people and supported by a Chance to Shine

coach have proved a huge success. We helped set up 800 of these clubs in 2014. They took place after-school hours on school sites and involved both cricketing and non-cricketing pupils. Club members divided up between them a variety of roles: chairman, team manager, treasurer, photographer, scorer, journalist, website manager, to name but a few.

The extra-curricular club activity ranged from developing cricket skills to organising competitions and ambassador visits. For the first time, young people had the power to shape how cricket was run at their school. Most importantly, they remain engaged in school sport, rather than dropping out of it.

THE POWER OF CRICKET #3:BAYLIS GIRLS SCHOOL



Datchet Cricket Club in Berkshire was in a desperate state, without a junior section since 2001. This has led to an ageing playing membership with very few younger players coming through. We linked four local primary schools to the club and encouraged children to join. By the end of the summer, Datchet CC had over 60 children attending its sessions and entered an Under 11s and Under 13s side in the league for the first time in years. The future is looking bright again.

We want to give young people a life-long love of cricket. Introducing them to their local cricket club is a powerful way to ensure the game stays with them beyond the school gates. During 2014, 26,000 boys and girls attended sessions at the cricket club linked to their school through the Chance to Shine Schools programme.

Cricket clubs across the country put on cricket festivals and after-school clubs for schools this summer to showcase their facilities and give children a positive first experience.

Greenside Cricket Club in Durham even ran a special, weekly cricket night for mums and their kids. It was a great success, resulting in more youngsters playing and more parents volunteering at the club. Chance to Shine has breathed new life into countless cricket clubs.

REJUVENATINGCLUBS

Play hard. Play fair. That was the message our coaches continued to spread in schools throughout the year.

Teachers value the unique qualities of cricket to teach children discipline and respect for officials, opponents and team mates. Our partnership with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), which entered its fifth year, enabled us to teach young people good sportsmanship both on and off the playing field.

Chance to Shine coaches led just over 1,500 school assemblies on the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ in 2014, using a new video resource and interactive, fun activities to help engage pupils. They reinforced key messages during their coaching sessions, providing MCC Spirit of Cricket ‘champion’ stickers to reward good sporting behaviour.

Within weeks, coaches found that the children had learnt how to win and lose graciously – shaking hands with the opposition and encouraging, rather than criticising, their team mates. Our work with MCC is changing pupil behaviour and creating a generation of good sports.

SCHOOLCHILDREN TAKE OVER LORD’S

Imagine never playing cricket on grass before…and then playing your first match at the Home of Cricket! Well, that’s exactly what happened to 600 primary schoolchildren when MCC threw open the gates of Lord’s to them. Twenty state schools enjoyed the MCC Spirit of Cricket Open Day in May. Pupils sat in the famous Pavilion seats for an assembly, played on the outfield and learnt cooking skills in the Lord’s kitchens.

A teaching assistant summed up the children’s unforgettable experience saying, “It’s a dream come true for them.”

“IT’S FANTASTIC TO SEE THE CHILDREN SHAKE HANDS AND UNDERSTAND VALUES. WHY DIDN’T WE HAVE THIS YEARS AGO?” Essex primary school teacher

“WITHOUT CHANCE TO SHINE, I BELIEVE OUR CLUB COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CEASED TO EXIST.” Chairman of Datchet CC, Paul Tilley



We believe in opportunity for all young people, not just the elite few.

Opportunity for the child living in a council estate far away from a cricket club; for the child who’s not considered ‘sporty’ so shies away from the playing field; for the child with special needs who yearns for a chance to play sport competitively in a school team.

We give these opportunities to children, every day, all year.

\ 19THE SPARK OF OPPORTUNITY


ERIN AND LUCY

DISCOVERING HIDDEN TALENT

Our core aim is not to find the next England player. First and foremost, we want to give as many young people as possible the opportunity to reap the benefits of playing cricket, whatever their background and ability.

But the sheer scale and reach of Chance to Shine means we are, inevitably, unearthing some naturally gifted cricketers.

We worked closely with the ECB and cricket boards to make sure that these talented young people fulfilled their potential at their schools, communities, clubs and counties.

It’ll be a huge bonus if one of these youngsters, one day, makes their England international debut and no one will celebrate more than us!

Neither Joe Rooney, 10, nor Charlie Gresham, 11, had the opportunity to play cricket before the Street programme came to Anfield two years ago. They started from scratch, but both immediately fell in love with the game and practised hard.

Their coach spotted their natural talent as all-rounders and encouraged them to join a local cricket club; and then trial for the Lancashire district team. Both were successful and now represent Wavertree CC Under 11s and Liverpool District Under 11s. Joe and Charlie have a bright future in a sport that neither had played before we gave them their first cricketing break.

When Chance to Shine Schools coach James Cutt went in to coach at Ormskirk Primary in Lancashire he was stunned to see two girls smashing the ball all over the playground. The two girls were talented twin sisters, Lucy and Erin Staunton-Turner. Lucy is a top-order batter and right-arm off-spinner, and Erin’s a left-arm seamer and middle-order batter.

They were picked for Lancashire U11s and now, four years on, have both been selected into the England Women’s U15s squad.

Erin, 14, explains, “If we hadn’t had all the coaching from James and Chance to Shine at school, I don’t think we’d be as good and I don’t think we’d be where we are now. I’d love to one day play cricket for the full England side. That’s our dream.”

JOE AND CHARLIE



We gave thousands of children their first taste of cricket this year.

We worked closely again with the national network of 39 county cricket boards to bring cricket to 3,700 primary schools. We engaged, enthused and inspired children across England and Wales. Our 1,500 coaches provided the spark for many of these young people.

Pupils improved their cricket skills in Chance to Shine Schools sessions and also enjoyed a range of fun and inclusive soft-ball games, such as ‘diamond’ or ‘pairs’ cricket. Teachers described the real impact of having a professional coach come to their school.

The majority of our primary school activity took place within curriculum time. However, schools were often keen to run extra-curricular activity, including breakfast and after-school cricket clubs. County cricket boards encouraged head teachers to use the extra school sport funding provided by the Coalition Government to supplement their cricket activity.

Exciting, fast-paced and free. Young people love the Chance to Shine Street format: six-a-side games played with a tape-ball – a tennis ball wrapped in electrical tape – in around 20 minutes.

It’s very inclusive, with everyone getting a chance to bat, bowl and field. We provided the coaches and equipment and the young people turned up week in, week out.

We ran 61 Street Youth projects in some of the most disadvantaged areas of major UK cities: Birmingham, Bristol, Cheltenham, Dewsbury, Hull, Leicester, Liverpool, London and Manchester.

Chance to Shine Street sessions took place, weekly, all year round in the evenings and weekends at community venues, such as leisure centres, sports halls and caged areas around housing estates and community parks.

More than 1,500 boys and girls, aged eight to 16, took part in the Youth part of the programme in 2014, funded for the sixth (and their final) year by Barclays.

Coaches acted as mentors for children and, for many, were the much-needed positive role models lacking in their lives.

Chance to Shine Street filled the cricket void in urban areas where there were few green spaces and fewer traditional cricket clubs.

We’ve reached many young people in inner-cities who might otherwise be lost to the game, lighting a fire within them and a burning passion for cricket.

IGNITING A PASSION FOR CRICKET

Cricket at breaktime, at lunchtime – anytime! There were many examples last year of children feeling inspired by their Chance to Shine Schools sessions to set up and run breaktime cricket with their friends.

At Evington Valley Primary in Leicestershire, Chance to Shine coaches left tennis balls out on the playground and within two weeks pupils were using a whole bucket of balls for catching practices and games during their morning and lunch breaks.

Disability projects form a small, but important, part of our Chance to Shine Schools programme.

Last year, we gave competitive cricket to around 17,000 children with special educational needs in 255 schools.We ran coaching sessions for children with disabilities and arranged inter-school table cricket competitions. Teachers told us how much their pupils wanted to compete against their peers, but didn’t always get the opportunity.

In Worcestershire, Chance to Shine helped link New College Worcester, a residential school and college for blind or partially sighted young people, to Old Elizabethans Cricket Club. The take-up of cricket was so successful that the club formed their first ever visually impaired team.

Cricket was the highlight for many of the hospitals’ chronically ill children. The weekly inclusive classroom cricket sessions were followed by ward visits to work with children in isolation, who were too ill to make the trip down to the hospital school.

Inspirational coaches Denise O’Neil and Ray Tudor motivated, enthused and engaged a wide range of young people, many with additional learning needs, in cricket activities.

DISABILITY PROJECTS

HOSPITALSCHOOLS

Josh was an active and sporty child but suffered a stroke at just eight years old.

Josh had never played cricket before Dorset’s Chance to Shine Schools coach came to his PE lesson. Josh picked up the sport quickly.

He fell in love with the game and soon progressed to the Dorset adult disability side and then to the Cricket Federation for People with Disabilities England team.

His dad, Mike, speaks passionately about the impact cricket has made on his son: “Cricket has provided Josh with an opportunity to find something he is good at despite his disability. It makes me so proud to see how well he is doing. If Chance to Shine hadn’t gone into his school he definitely wouldn’t be playing cricket now and I doubt he would be playing any sport at all.”

“THE SESSIONS ARE ALWAYS WELL ATTENDED AND FULL OF CONTAGIOUS LAUGHTER, ENERGY AND TEAM SPIRIT! PUPILS ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP VITAL BAT AND BALL SKILLS WHILST TEAM BUILDING AND DEVELOPING SELF-CONFIDENCE.”John Sosna, Assistant Headteacher at the Children’s Hospital School, Great Ormond Street

THE POWER OF CRICKET #6:JOSH COURTENAY

We provided weekly cricket sessions, with Capital Kids Cricket, at two London children’s hospitals: Great Ormond Street and Evelina.



Last year, we used its power to cross cultural, social and gender divides in schools and communities. Cricket was the glue that united children from diverse backgrounds and involved previously marginalised pupils.

Too many children were excluded from this fantastic game in the past. Now they are at the heart of cricket’s future, thanks to Chance to Shine.

Cricket has the amazing ability to break down barriers and form closer bonds between young people.

THE SPARK OF INCLUSIVITY

INSPIRING GIRLS

46%OF CHILDREN PLAYING CRICKET IN CHANCE TO SHINE SCHOOLS IN 2014 WERE GIRLS

Courtney Cooper was captain of Ludlow School’s Under 15s mixed team in the Chance to Compete tournament. A talented all-rounder, Courtney led her male peers to victory at Shropshire’s county finals, gaining the respect of the whole team and her school friends.

Courtney has now been selected for England Women’s Under 15s development programme.

Courtney has completed her Young Leaders course and helped her school’s PE department as part of her work experience. She is a shining example of the power of Chance to Shine as she was first introduced to cricket, through the programme, at St Laurence Primary, Ludlow. Since then, she has not looked back.

One million girls. That was the major milestone we celebrated early last year – and what a landmark!

Before the Chance to Shine Schools programme launched in 2005, cricket was just not an option for the majority of girls. Now, more and more girls’ school and club cricket teams are emerging rapidly.

We saw the excitement and passion from girls in schools who wanted to have the chance to play cricket and demonstrate that they could do it.

Girls like 12-year old Lillie Edwards from Cromer Academy in Norfolk who became our one millionth girl in February 2014. She was part of a newly formed girls’ school cricket club funded by Sport England Lillie is keen for more schools, like Cromer, to give their female students the same opportunity as boys. “It’s important that girls play cricket, as girls can do anything that boys can do,” she exclaimed, “It’s important that everyone remembers that!” We’ll keep on reminding people until there are equal opportunities for girls to play and enjoy the unique benefits of cricket.

“IT IS SUCH AN INCLUSIVE AND ENJOYABLE PROGRAMME, AND GIVES THE GIRLS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN A RANGE OF DIFFERENT SKILLS AND TO TAKE PART IN COMPETITIVE SPORT.”Year 3 teacher, Cambridgeshire

THE POWER OF CRICKET #7:COURTNEY COOPERCHANCE TO SHINE SCHOOLS



INSPIRING GIRLS CHANCE TO SHINE STREETWe made significant steps this year in providing cricket opportunities for girls in inner-city areas.

Previously, it was a real challenge for the Street programme, with female players making up just five per cent of all participants in 2011. By the end of 2014, this figure had increased to 21 per cent.

We ran girls-only projects in many cities where the Street programme operates. Girls preferred these specialist projects without boys, who could easily knock their confidence with misplaced criticism.

Coaches created a welcoming and social atmosphere to sessions, where girls felt comfortable learning key cricket skills. Last year, we inspired nearly 400 girls in urban areas to pick up a cricket bat and ball for the first time. The highlight was our first girls’ inter-city tournament in February 2014, with teams competing from Bristol, London and Manchester.

“SHE’S NOT JUST A COACH; SHE’S MORE LIKE A BIG SISTER. SHE KNOWS IF I’M HAVING A BAD DAY SO SHE WOULDN’T PUSH ME.”Female Chance to Shine Street participant

“HANNAH AND SABA HAVE ENHANCED MY DAUGHTER’S CONFIDENCE. I OWE THEM A LOT. THEIR COACHING IS WORLD CLASS!”Parent of East London participant

In areas struggling to engage girls in cricket it takes an inspirational coach to spark an interest. Luckily in North East London we had two! Hannah Newman and Saba Nasim, both newly qualified coaches, promoted the Street programme enthusiastically to girls in local schools and community centres.

They soon had a number of regular participants who attended weekly sessions and formed their own girls’ team, the ‘Redbridge Rangers’, winners of the first Street girls’ competition. Hannah and Saba not only provided cricket coaching for the girls, but also organised workshops to teach broader life skills, such as first aid. They promoted cultural awareness in sessions by helping to fit prayer breaks into the schedule for the Muslim girls.

THE POWER OF CRICKET #8:EAST LONDON GIRLS



Teachers face increasingly diverse classrooms, with many students speaking a variety of languages and little or no English.

Cricket was a common language for pupils. In 2014, teachers used their Chance to Shine Schools sessions to overcome language barriers and develop more harmonious classes.

Head teachers recognised the benefits of cricket for children arriving from abroad who found school a daunting and alien environment. It helped them to communicate, build their confidence, make new friends and develop their English language skills. Most importantly, it helped them to fit in and feel included.

Our Chance to Shine Street project in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, has increased interaction between young people from different areas of the town. Weekly community sessions and local competitions brought together children from Asian and white British backgrounds. They helped build mutual respect and trust between participants and created a more cohesive community.

UNITING DIVERSE COMMUNITIES

“I’D DEFINITELY SAY THAT CRICKET IS THE COMMON LANGUAGE IN THE SCHOOL.”Chris Highton, Chance to Shine Schools coach at Pikes Lane Primary, Bolton

Fifty per cent of pupils at Park Junior School in Wellingborough come from ethnic minority backgrounds and the school has used cricket to break down barriers between communities. The school has a number of children who have recently come into the country without any English and they have used cricket as a way to make new friends.

Headteacher, David Tebbutt, is in no doubt that cricket is the ideal sport for this, saying, “We have big Indian, Bangladeshi, and Afro-Caribbean communities and we think cricket is the perfect way to bring them together.”

Chance to Shine coach, Mark Bolar, agrees adding, “I’m mixed race myself and I know that different cultures have different traditions, but we all play cricket.”

“There’s a lot of teamwork going on and there’s not a lot of arguing,” says pupil Aum Gajjar, “Everyone is happy playing cricket. You can discuss tactics and that way you can get to know each other, make friends and have lots of fun. If there are powerful friendships then you’re not as shy.”

“WE HAVE BIG INDIAN, BANGLADESHI, AND AFRO-CARIBBEAN COMMUNITIES AND WE THINK CRICKET IS THE PERFECT WAY TO BRING THEM TOGETHER.”David Tebbutt, Headteacher Park Junior School

THE POWER OF CRICKET #9:PARK JUNIOR SCHOOL



Schools that had never entered local cricket tournaments were motivated to compete – and compete successfully – following Chance to Shine coaching.

We also raised the aspirations of young adults from deprived areas, training to be coaches. We gave them belief, where before there was doubt, and offered them hope for a brighter future.

Many children dream of performing heroics for their school team at a sporting competition. We made this a reality for a large number of them in 2014.

THE SPARK OF AMBITION

\ 35THE SPARK OF AMBITION


For too long, secondary state school children haven’t had the same opportunity to play competitive cricket as their private school peers. Not any more.

Teachers have wholeheartedly embraced our secondary school competition, ‘Chance to Compete’, funded by our former chairman Adrian Beecroft. They love the structure, the equipment and the opportunity we give their girls and boys to play competitively against other state schools.

Over 1,500 school teams took part in four strands of the competition, including: a hard ball, mixed gender tournament for under 13s and 15s and a softball tournament for under 13s and 15s girls (new for 2014).

Schools competed first at a regional level during the summer term to reach their county finals. Winners of these progressed to national final days in September at Moseley Cricket Club, Birmingham, and the Northamptonshire County Ground. The cricket was competitive, the venues were first class.

Schools were crying out for a shorter version of the game that could be played within an hour – and we’ve provided it.

CHAMPIONING COMPETITION

Kirkby La Thorpe Primary school in Lincolnshire is a small school in a rural location. They had always struggled to compete in sport against larger schools. Following several weeks of Chance to Shine Schools coaching by their local club, the school entered local cricket competitions and, to their surprise and delight, went on to win their district final. Medals and trophies were handed out to the team during assembly and the whole school was lifted by the team’s success.

Competition remains the backbone of Chance to Shine Schools. In 2014, primary schoolchildren have enjoyed 40,000 competitive cricket matches.

The games are played within schools – between classes – and also against other local schools, often at ‘kwik’ cricket festivals held at cricket clubs. The opportunity to play on a grass cricket pitch for the first time is always an exciting and memorable experience for the children.

“WE’RE SUCH A SMALL SCHOOL. THIS IS OUR FIRST FINALS COMPETITION. YET HERE WE ARE PLAYING ON THE ESSEX PITCH. OUR GOVERNORS WILL BE SO PROUD!”Essex primary school teacher

CHANCE TO SHINE STREET YOUNG ADULTS

CHAMPIONINGCOMPETITION

For the third year, we gave competitive cricket to young adults, aged 16 to 24, thanks to a lottery grant from Sport England.

We used the same tape-ball cricket format as the Youth scheme, across the same cities. Young adult teams competed in Street cricket leagues every week at evenings and weekends.

Just over 1,300 young adult males were involved in 2014, with 90 teams playing in nine leagues. The teams that topped their league at the end of the year represented their city at a national final held at Lord’s.

The Chance to Shine Street young adults were hungry for competitive cricket. For many, the traditional club environment either didn’t fit in with their way of life, or didn’t exist locally. Two-thirds of participants were not members of a cricket club, yet they were passionate about cricket.

We gave them a version of the game they enjoyed – where and when they wanted it – and they attended regularly in large numbers.

Our school holiday competitions give young people on the Chance to Shine Street youth programme the opportunity to pit their skills against their peers, both at a local and at a national level.

We ran four national competitions in 2014 and 65 local competitions involving participants from 56 projects. The children relished the chance to represent their city or local area.

They played for medals and trophies, but most importantly they played for bragging rights! Friendly, but fierce, rivalries emerged and strong bonds were forged between players and teams.

The majority of our Street participants rarely, if ever, leave their local neighbourhood so they grabbed the chance to travel to new parts of the country and meet new people. For many, it was more than just a competition – it was a life experience.

CHANCE TO SHINE STREET YOUTH



Emma Jones, is a Young Leader for Felixstowe and Corinthians youth cricket club. She umpires, scores and organises fixtures for the club and is dedicated to encouraging more boys and girls to join their local cricket club.

She’s already being touted as a coach who can shape the future of cricket in Suffolk. Emma says, “I love coaching and seeing the children progress. I had one kid come and thank me after a session recently and it’s such a good feeling.”

CREATING LEADERS:SECONDARY SCHOOLSYoung people not only took part in cricket competitions this year, they ran them!

Nearly 6,500 secondary school students took the opportunity to attend a young leaders, or ‘ECB Cricket Activators’, course through Chance to Shine Schools. They learnt how to plan and deliver coaching sessions, enabling them to run cricket at their school and help out at junior cricket tournaments. In June, a group of young leaders helped make an Exeter cricket festival run smoothly, by umpiring and scoring the games. Without them the competition, involving 10 primary schools and 280 kids, wouldn’t have been possible.

In many regions, young leaders returned to their old Chance to Shine primary schools and helped former teachers run their weekly Year 5 and Year 6 cricket sessions and competitions. They learnt key leadership and organisational skills, boosted their CVs and inspired many younger children who look up to them as positive role models. Chance to Shine is not only creating the players of the future. We’re also creating the cricket administrators, club members, spectators and fans of the future.

CREATING LEADERS CHANCE TO SHINE STREET

We provide on-the-job training to young people in the Chance to Shine Street programme who showed an interest in coaching.

We’re proud that 40 per cent of the 80 coaches working for Chance to Shine Street in 2014 were originally participants. We gave many of them their first paid job and, most importantly, raised their aspirations so they believed they could train to be a coach.

We also worked with a group of ‘young ambassadors’ who represented the Chance to Shine Street participants. They met quarterly and shared feedback and advice on how we could improve the programme.

They valued having a stake in the programme and we valued the insight they brought. We also arranged for speakers from different industry sectors to come and talk to them about potential future career options.

“I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KICK-START MY CAREER AND USED THE SKILLS TO PROGRESS NOT ONLY IN A COACHING ENVIRONMENT BUT ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL IN MY ROLE AS AN ACCOUNTANT WITH BRENTFORD FOOTBALL CLUB’S COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST.” Ram Tanna, Chance to Shine Street coach

Shakeel Ahmed, 21, from Tower Hamlets has been involved in our Street cricket programme for six years. Previously, his lack of focus led to him hanging around with a bad crowd. He explains, “Before, I wasn’t thinking too much about the future and I was getting in trouble because I wasn’t involved in anything.”

Cricket has helped Shakeel to move away from negative influences. His coach encouraged him to take a coach education course, funded by the charity, when he turned 16.

After completing his course, Shakeel started work as a paid apprentice coach delivering Street projects in Tower Hamlets’ schools and communities. He’s since gained a Finance and Accountancy degree at the University of East London – paid for out of his coaching income – and Middlesex Cricket Board has offered him a full- time community coaching role.

“Without Chance to Shine Street I would have no other skills, no work experience, no paid work,” says Shakeel, “I’d be worried about my future. Now I can afford to be calm and I have no need to worry.”

THE SPARK OFINSPIRATION

For some, it was a visit from one of their England heroes. For others, their cricket coach or an older peer provided the spark of inspiration.

We inspired thousands of children to pick up a cricket bat or ball for the first time, to join a school team or cricket club, to make cricket a part of their lives. And they inspired us to keep on spreading cricket far and wide.

Inspiration came in different forms for Chance to Shine’s young people.

“I ENJOY COMING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY WHERE I GREW UP PLAYING TAPE-BALL CRICKET. IT KEEPS YOU GROUNDED. I HOPE I CAN PASS ON SOME USEFUL ADVICE AND HELP INSPIRE CHILDREN.” Moeen Ali

ENGLAND MEN

CHANCE TO SHINE MASCOTS

England Team sponsor, Waitrose, gave 20 lucky Chance to Shine schoolchildren the opportunity of a lifetime: to walk out with the England captain as official England mascots. Ten year-old Jessie Bussell, a Year 6 pupil from Staples Road Primary in Essex, was selected to be one of the mascots. She said, “It was a great opportunity that I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to get back on the pitch to play cricket for my school and club.”

ENGLAND WOMENThe England Women’s cricket team continued to inspire budding cricketers in 2014.

We welcomed several new additions to our team of Chance to Shine ‘Coaching Ambassadors’: Tammy Beaumont, Kate Cross and Lauren Winfield joined England captain Charlotte Edwards, Lydia Greenway, Jenny Gunn, Dani Hazell and Heather Knight in leading school assemblies and coaching children in schools and clubs. The England Women paired up and ran a series of nationwide cricket coaching sessions. They coached hundreds of children, igniting a passion for cricket in many that will last a lifetime.

Our ongoing partnership with ECB gives the players the flexibility to train and play international cricket at the same time.

“LYDIA WAS TERRIFIC. OUR GIRLS HUNG ON EVERY LAST WORD SHE SAID. INSPIRATIONAL STUFF!” PE staff, Hall Mead School, Essex

An England player’s visit to one of our schools has a huge impact on pupils.

Just ask the students at Hodge Hill Sports and Enterprise College in inner-city Birmingham who welcomed Moeen Ali with open arms to their Chance to Shine Street cricket session in May. They were all ears as Moeen gave them cricket tips and they saved their best bowling and batting for the inspirational England player.

“It was a really good experience, seeing how an international cricketer plays his shots and his view of the game”, enthused 15 year-old Waqar, “He told me to ‘just go out there and play your game, don’t worry about what anyone else says’. The visit means a lot to us, to have an international player come to see us.”



YORKSHIRE TEA NATIONAL CRICKET WEEK

CRICKET UNITED

ALASTAIR COOKA SHINING EXAMPLE

Over 1,500 primary and secondary schools signed up for Yorkshire Tea National Cricket Week in 2014, spread over a week for the first time.

Schools once again turned their timetables over to cricket-themed activity, both in the classroom and in the playground. Teachers took advantage of ECB’s India & Sri Lanka Schools Challenge educational resource, full of lesson plans and activities for Key Stage 2 and 3 pupils.

An Asian theme ran throughout the week’s activities to tie in with the summer’s touring teams. Children enjoyed a mix of playing cricket, learning Bollywood dancing and cooking curries.

Clubs, like Exeter CC and Kirkham & Wesham CC near Preston, held cricket festivals for local Chance to Shine schools, giving state schoolchildren the opportunity to play competitive cricket on grass pitches.

Meanwhile, schoolchildren in Cornwall and Sussex flocked to the seaside for cricket tournaments on Perranporth, Brighton and West Wittering beaches.

Yorkshire Cricket Foundation held a mass open day at Headingley for hundreds of local schoolchildren. Essex, Kent and Surrey CCC provided free tickets to schools for county games during the week. Surrey also hosted a coaching and competition day for 200 students with disabilities at the Kia Oval.

A stellar list of England and County players, including Jonathan Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Jos Buttler, Charlotte Edwards and Graham Gooch, lent their support by visiting schools and clubs to inspire young cricketers. Lucky pupils at Sacred Heart Primary in South London even had a chance to grill Stuart Broad at a mock press conference, set up by Yorkshire Tea.

National Cricket Week helped create unforgettable memories for kids.

We teamed up again with The Lord’s Taverners and PCA Benevolent Fund for ‘Cricket United’.

Our joint fundraising day took place at Kia Oval on 16th August during the fifth Investec Test against India and raised £65,000.

England Men and Women players signed bats and drew portraits of broadcasters (who repaid the favour) for a charity auction. They wore Cricket United branded Test shirts and helped spread the word via social media.

Waitrose provided 10,000 blue T-shirts and made a donation for every boundary hit during the day. Other match sponsors, including Investec, Lycamobile and Yorkshire Tea, helped turn the Kia Oval blue for the day by changing the colour of their advertising boards.

ECB, Surrey CCC and the generous cricket-loving public were all instrumental in making the day another huge success. Together, we improved lives through cricket.

“I LOVE CHANCE TO SHINE BECAUSE IT GIVES LESS FORTUNATE CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE WHAT SPORT – AND ESPECIALLY CRICKET – CAN OFFER.” Alastair Cook

England captain Alastair Cook chose us as one of his Benefit Year charities and helped raise significant funds for the charity through a series of events.

In addition, Alastair took part again in our annual cricket ‘cook-off ’ fundraiser, Chance to Dine, hosted by Chance to Shine co-founder Mark Nicholas. Waitrose supported us as headline sponsor, showing once again their support for grassroots cricket.

Team mates James Anderson, Stuart Broad and former England bowler Matthew Hoggard joined him in the kitchens at Lord’s. The competition was fierce, the standards high. But Alastair emerged the winner for the third successive year – what a hat-trick!



FINANCIAL REVIEW

INCOMEDuring the period, £5.6m was received, an increase of 32 per cent compared to the prior year. The main reason for this was that government grants received were £3.1m in 2013/14 compared to £1.3m in 2012/13. Sport England has provided funding for the secondary school programme, which started in April 2013. For this reason, there was only six months’ worth of activity funded in the 2012/13 financial year, compared to a full 12 months in 2013/14. Further to this, the programme expanded in scale during 2013/14.

Gifts and donations, excluding those from cricket partners, were consistent with the previous year, with £0.9m raised in both 2013/14 and 2012/13. There was a decrease in income from commercial activities from £0.6m in 2012/13 to £0.2m in the year. This was a result of sponsorship deals with both Brit for the Chance to Shine Schools programme and Barclays for the Street

programme ending without any immediate replacements to date. Fewer fundraising events were run than in the prior year.

EXPENDITUREThere was a decrease in charitable expenditure during the year from £5.1m to £4.8m, with the majority of this reduction arising as a result of a sustainability strategy on the Street programme, where expenditure reduced from £0.9m to £0.7m. England Women Coaching Ambassadors were awarded professional ECB contracts during the year, resulting in a reduction in staff costs for Chance to Shine due to reduced availability of the players.

Chance to Shine also made the decision to stop providing grants for non-turf pitches and playground markings, to allow it to focus on its core programmes. Whilst there was an increase in funding provided for secondary school activity,

this was offset by a reduction in funding for primary school activity. This was possible as projects became sustainable, in line with the 10-year plan to ensure that all Chance to Shine schools embed a cricket-playing culture.

Every single gift we receive is important. They all add up to make a difference to young lives.
