The Surrey Cricket Foundation (SCF) played a key role in a successful new initiative in July, keeping children from across London active through the London Loop activity programme.
The programme, a collaboration between the four London counties, aimed to combat limited physical activity in disadvantaged areas of the capital.
SCF joined forces with Essex, Kent and Middlesex County Cricket Boards to deliver a range of exciting activities across three days at the end of July. The programme offered more than just cricket, with a variety of sporting and non-sporting options available. Catering to a wider range of interests and abilities ensured that children had the opportunity to try cricket, alongside water sports, art, basketball, football, BMX biking and other activities.
The three days of activities proved to be a big hit with the children, with many trying new activities for the first time, whilst forging friendships in a safe and inclusive environment.
The collaboration between the counties is a positive step, highlighting the importance of working together to create opportunities for young people in the capital.
