Unlocking Potential Through Cricket for Young People with Disabilities
The Surrey Cricket Foundation is proud to partner with Lord’s Taverners to deliver the incredible Super 1s programme across Surrey.

Develop Life Skills: Improve communication, teamwork, independence, and leadership qualities.

Enhance Well-being: Get active, improve physical and mental health, and combat loneliness.
-
Realise Potential: Experience the joy of competitive sport and gain a real sense of achievement.
