Chance to Shine is a national charity that aims to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket. Chance to Shine believe that cricket can help to develop the personal, social and physical skills of the 500,000 children that we work with every year.

Chance to Shine in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire Cricket is funded by Chance to Shine to deliver Cricket in schools. Our focus is to send coaches in to school to support the delivery of cricket coaching. Additionally, as well as the physical benefits of regular activity, we use cricket to teach children important key life skills that will help them beyond the playground. Through the values of cricket, we teach children about respect and fair play.
