This is an initiative set up to help women who would not usually take part in sport or physical activity, to make a change and start to engage in sporting activity. The fitness aspect focuses on basic cricket related exercise, mixed with playing cricket, to help encourage women to take part in the sport.

Enjoy Cricket

This programme provides opportunities for Yorkshire based cricket clubs, schools and community groups to run cricket camps throughout the school holidays, that are fully funded. The aim is to provide children aged 7 and upwards, the opportunity to participate in a fun coaching environment for as little as £1 per day.

Walking Cricket

This was a new concept in 2019 and it makes cricket accessible to older adults, or individuals who are retired or semi-retired. It’s an adaptation of the traditional game of cricket to suit those with less mobility. It’s proved incredibly popular in Yorkshire with over 15 hubs now in Yorkshire.

The Keith Howard Foundation also supports the Walking Cricket Project. A concept which makes cricket accessible to older adults, and retired or semi retired individuals.
