The London Cricket Trust is a charity formed by Essex, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey County Cricket Clubs The LCT works closely with the England and Wales Cricket Board to ensure that everyone in London has the opportunity to play cricket, get active, and meet new people in their local community.
LCT is working with the ECB and the four counties to reverse the decline in the number of cricket facilities in London’s parks.
This week, the charity published a summary of it's activities in recent times.
Between 2018 and the end of 2021, the London Cricket Trust will have overseen the installation of 61 non-turf pitches and 13 net facilities across the capital.
In Phases 1 and 2, in 2018 and 2019, 36 non-turf pitches and four net facilities were created and 66 cricket starter-kits were donated to primary and high schools.
In Phase 3, in 2020, running into 2021, and Phase 4, in 2021, a further 25 NTP’s and nine net facilities will be completed and available for use.
In this process, LCT has emerged as a lean, focused organisation through which the four county boards - Essex, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey - work efficiently and effectively not only together but also in conjunction with the ECB, measurably increasing cricket participation in the capital.
