Chance to Shine joins the Big Give Christmas Challenge

Every pound donated will be matched, doubling the impact and expanding the reach of Chance to Shine's transformative programmes

Chance to Shine is participating in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, running from December 3 to December 10. This exciting match-funding initiative offers supporters of the charity the opportunity to double their donations, helping the bring cricket to more young people this winter.

Cricket isn't just a summer sport, children still need access to physical activity over winter too.

For many of the underserved communities Chance to Shine works with access to cricket during the colder months is only possible thanks to the charity's street cricket sessions. These community clubs provide vital opportunities for physical activity and personal development for children in a safe and supportive environment.

Donations raised during this campaign will directly support:

- Street Cricket initiatives in London, providing a safe space for children to play and learn

- Training for coaches, ensuring quality and inclusivity in every session

- Equipment and resources, making cricket accessible to all

Every pound donated will be matched, doubling the impact and expanding the reach of these transformative programmes. Since 2005, Chance to Shine has reached more than seven million children and young people through schools and community projects, using cricket to teach teamwork, communication, and resilience.
