What a team! This evening we hosted our autumn/winter social for our Heritage volunteer team! (Not all pictured, not all in attendance, but all equally valued!) Nothing better than getting together for a coffee and a chat to thank our wonderful volunteers for their hard work behind the scenes, and in helping welcome the public in The Yorkshire Cricket Museum this year. Keep up the great work!

Our girl's hub going from strength to strength 💪 🏏 Great work Matthew Crookes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
💬 "I really didn't have much confidence in myself, but when I joined cricket, things have been better for me" Lord's Taverners' mission is to include and empower more women and girls to play cricket by creating bespoke cricket sessions across the UK 🏏 Earlier this year, newly opened girls-only Yorkshire Cricket Foundation Wicketz hubs from Leeds, Bradford and Hull joined at Headingley Stadium for a cricket festival where young people were able to compete, share their experiences and show off their skills. Take a look at the impact our Wicketz programme is having in communities in this short feature 👇 🎥

🌟 Let's Talk! 🌟 We had a fantastic, interactive mental health evening with our Core Cities participants, addressing important topics such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness. After conducting surveys with our participants from the indoor softball and tapeball leagues, we listened to their needs and organised an evening to raise awareness about mental health and the available support within our communities. It was a great evening, featuring three incredible speakers. Did you know that in the UK, 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem each year, with anxiety, depression, and loneliness being among the most common? (NHS, 2024) A big thank you to jimmy gittins and Ian Smith from State of Mind Sport, Maulana Fazal Dad, and Vinesh Patel BSc, MPharm for sharing their stories- top feedback from all attendees!
