Dedicated to promoting cricket across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, fostering community spirit and inclusivity.
The Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Foundation (L&RCF) is committed to using cricket as a force for good, connecting communities, improving lives and breaking down social barriers. To achieve this, the Foundation has set an ambitious goal to become a standout charity, delivering class-leading programmes while ensuring long term financial sustainability. Our strategy outlines the steps we will take to achieve this goal, ensuring the long-term sustainability of cricket in the region.
Cricket has a unique ability to unite people, fostering inclusion and wellbeing. Everything that L&RCF is working towards; every inclusive opportunity, community programme and recreational team that is on offer allows us to make great strides towards enhancing and extending the reputation, reach and profile of our game.
The newly established Foundation in 2024 aims to engage Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland’s diverse population, using cricket as a vehicle to break down social barriers and connect communities to promote positive physical and mental well-being.
Governance is led by a ten-strong independent Board of Trustees, who bring a wealth of expertise and lived experiences to reflect and serve the local population. Our strategy was developed through extensive consultation and lays out a four-year County Wide Plan for cricket and community engagement supported by detailed operational plans to drive real impact.
