Our Numbers

Since 2005 we have worked with all 39 county cricket boards to reverse the decline of cricket in state schools and to take the game to new places, using it to teach vital skills, unite diverse groups, and educate children and young people. Here's a look at our latest facts and figures:

Chance to Shine has reached more than five million children in over 16,000 state schools and 201 community projects since 2005.

46% of the children that we have worked with in that time are female.
