Wicketz is about improving the prospects of young people and helping them gain the skills they need to thrive and realise their potential through cricket. This is about much more than cricket – Wicketz provides opportunities for young people to develop an understanding of their own wellbeing, improve their quality of life and develop key skills such as confidence, resilience, respect, teamwork and leadership.
Through regular sessions and life skills workshops, in areas of most need, we help create lifelong habits that promote positive futures and healthier, and more cohesive communities. Integration and inclusion are a key focus – we work with a very diverse group of young people with representation from over 30 ethnic communities, bringing together participants from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We have also welcomed many from marginalised groups including young carers, refugees, excluded pupils, young offenders and others who are potentially at risk of being caught up in discrimination, crime or violence.
