Cricket Connects is a Cricket Ireland Participation initiative and is supported by The Rank Foundation Start Here Grant. Cricket Connects aims to encourage more people to play more cricket, more often. Cricket Connects has a specific focus on targeting groups not usually accessing cricket or physical activity opportunities including a focus on more women, those with a disability, and those who are socially disadvantaged becoming more active.
The programme is designed to be holistic and increase individuals’ capacity in leadership and self, while also encourage increased physical activity and support those groups with COVID recovery. Cricket Ireland seeks to recruit a Part-time Cricket Connect Officer based in and working within the North West Cricket Union to support this initiative. This Cricket Connects role will support organisational and sectoral growth for Cricket in Ireland through increasing participation in sport and physical activity.
