Join a Community That Makes More Happen

The Surrey Cricket Foundation exists to bring people together, inspire individuals, and change lives through cricket. Our Patrons’ Club is one of the most impactful ways to support this mission, helping us remove barriers related to age, gender, ability, and ethnicity and ensuring that cricket is a sport for all.

By becoming a Patron, you join a dedicated group of supporters who believe in the power of cricket to change lives across Surrey and south London.

What Is the Patrons’ Club?

Launched in 2022, the Patrons’ Club was created to help secure a sustainable future for grassroots cricket in the county. Each Patron is invited to pledge £1,000 per year for three years, making a long-term commitment to the Foundation’s growth and charitable impact.

Your contribution directly supports our programmes, facility development, coaching pathways, disability cricket provision, women and girls’ cricket, and our extensive work with schools and communities.

Why Your Support Matters

Your support plays a vital role in enabling the Surrey Cricket Foundation to deliver meaningful, inclusive, and accessible cricketing opportunities across the county.

  • Helps us create More Games by expanding playing opportunities, increasing participation, and offering additional sessions for people of all ages.
  • Allows us to bring cricket to More Places, reaching schools, clubs, and communities that historically have had limited access to the game.
  • Enables us to drive More Inclusion by breaking down social, financial, and practical barriers, ensuring cricket is welcoming and accessible for everyone.
  • Provides More Opportunities to Change Lives by supporting programmes that improve wellbeing, confidence, connection, and long‑term personal development.
  • Gives us the stability to plan ahead and grow our work sustainably, ensuring these four pillars continue to reach further each year.

The Patrons’ Club ensures we can plan confidently, sustainably, and ambitiously for the future of recreational cricket in Surrey.
