Who we are
The gloucestershire cricket foundation is a charitable company set up to provide all people with the opportunities to play and be involved in cricket
Led by a Board of Trustees and a team of 19 staff members, the ambition of the Foundation is to give everyone the opportunity to take part in, and be part of, cricket. This includes delivering cricket in schools, cricket in community hubs, supporting and developing local recreational clubs, through providing cricketing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.
The opportunities provided and the support given covers all people, clubs and schools from within the Forest Of Dean, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cotswold, South Gloucestershire and Bristol Local Authority Areas, meaning there is a significant area to cover and support.
