Through the regular delivery of cricket sessions into schools, SEN schools and community groups, Cricket East is able to ensure that groups of people who have traditionally been regarded as having little or no activity, we are able to inject a new lease of active engagement with all kinds of people.
Through regular and sustained delivery, we see some amazing results in the physical and mental health and well-being of our participants.
Like 'Michael' (not his real name), who would not participate due to his inability to communicate verbally with the coaches. However, through his and our coaches learning, we have been able to communicate with him in different ways so that he feels included and as a result, is now one of the big characters in the group. By engaging with 'Michael' over a period has allowed his self-esteem and confidence to grow to such a level that 'Michael' has moved out of sheltered housing and now co-habits with a number of his friends in a structured environment!
