We work in state schools and under-served communities to deliver best-in-class cricket programmes to young people aged 5 to 24. We want them to learn a love of the game and to find a sense of belonging through the sport, developing their wider wellbeing and life skills to help fulfil their potential

Story

On Sunday 26th April 2026, our amazing team of runners will take on 26.2 miles of the iconic TCS London Marathon in support of Chance to Shine. Every mile they run, every early morning training session, and every ounce of effort is dedicated to one powerful goal: giving more children the chance to play, learn, and grow through cricket.

For many young people across the UK, cricket isn't just a game, it's a source of confidence, teamwork, resilience, and joy. Through school sessions and community projects, Chance to Shine brings these vital experiences to children who might otherwise never step onto a pitch.

Our marathon team is made up of everyday heroes: passionate supporters of the game, first-time runners, and lifelong cricket fans. Together, they’re raising vital funds to keep the spirit of cricket alive in schools and communities where it’s needed most.

Your support will help Chance to Shine reach more children with the transformative power of sport. Please donate today and be part of something bigger, because together, we can inspire a generation.
