Yorkshire Cricket Foundation
The YCF is the official charity and community arm of Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Using the power of cricket, the Foundation aims to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those living in Yorkshire.
Our mission is very simple. We use the power and brand of Yorkshire Cricket to support people and communities to be the best they can be.
Our vision is that we are here to create Community Without Boundaries.
Yorkshire Cricket Foundation works with local partners to transform people’s lives for the better through the power of cricket and create lifelong opportunities for people in the region.
Across our four themes of work – Education, Health & Wellbeing, Heritage and Participation, we strive to provide an offer that is open and accessible to all. We help and work with unreached groups and diverse communities, making sure there is equity of opportunity for everyone to enjoy, learn and take part. We are passionate about what we do and support the delivery of a whole range of programmes and events across Yorkshire.
We bring people together to make Yorkshire a happier and healthier place. Join us.
