Chance UK delivers an early intervention mentoring programme that supports vulnerable children with behavioral and emotional difficulties at risk of educational exclusion in London and other UK cities. The programme encourages children to develop vital life skills and improves their self-esteem and confidence, which in the longer term reduces the risk of their involvement in anti-social or criminal behavior.

I was a mentor with Chance UK in 2014 and saw first-hand the amazing work and support that the charity provides. It was an incredible experience of which I am both hugely proud and extremely grateful for, and I'd love to see more people getting involved.

So, with the help of friends, family, Chance UK and fellow cricketers we're aiming to raise money whilst attempting to break some cricket world records. Longest run up, most catches in a minute, fastest time to get dressed in full batting gear and most stumps hit to name a few, all to be verified by Guinness and maybe even featuring in their shiny book!

The money raised will be used to support mentors and children, from recruiting volunteers and delivering training to providing the resources to run innovative weekly activities for children to work towards their goals.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look - anything you can donate will be massively appreciated.
