Creating safe, welcoming cricket for refugee children and families rebuilding their lives in London.
For families rebuilding their lives in London, a friendly game can be a lifeline — a place to belong without words.
Our refugee cricket programme creates safe, welcoming sessions where children and young people can play, make friends and feel part of a community again.
The sessions are free and open to all, supported by coaches who understand that the first catch matters more than the first word.
Cricket becomes the bridge — from isolation to belonging, one session at a time.
When you cannot speak the language, you can still speak cricket.
