Past projects

Initially the Trust employed coaches to visit junior schools to introduce the pupils to cricket and to train the staff to continue with their cricket development. This work has now been taken over and expanded by the Middlesex Cricket Board, although the Trust continues to contribute to the costs.

 

The Trust has also helped clubs with grants towards the cost of non-turf pitches, net facilities and other cricketing equipment, together with support to the Middlesex Colts Association and the provision of funds for colts’ festivals.

 

In 1999 the Trustees gave almost 400 helmets to the colts sections of clubs in the County, in order to ensure that the very young colts could be attracted to the game and to enable them to continue to play it.

 

Since the inception of the Trust it is estimated that about £750,000 has been provided for the development of cricket and cricket facilities
