"I just want to say what a great day it was at the National Street20 finals. You had over 200 kids from all over the uk engaging in sport in a safe environment, & thanks for inviting me to give a talk about drugs & knife crime. Since then I've had some really positive messages from the youngters on my web site . I also think what you are doing is fantastic as your giving these kids the opportunity to play sport and be educated at the same time and i am sure between us we changed some lives and pointed alot of them in the right direction P.S Didn't see 1 unhappy face all day the whole place was full of smiles ."
C4C starts to build on 2012 summer of sporting legacy
Sep 20, 2012
The summer of Olympic and Paralympic sporting legacy continued on, Thursday 20th September, as all Cricket for Change coaches went into special schools throughout London to engage with hundreds of young people in the charity’s world leading disability cricket programme, ‘Hit The Top’.
The Hit The Top schools programme, supported in the capital by the Mayor of London, provides sporting opportunities for young people (under 18) with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and/or visual impairment. Through playing cricket with HTT, the young people taking part also benefit from greater and improved access to a fitter and healthier lifestyle. The programme also improves self-esteem, confidence and independent mobility skills within the young people that take part.

“This is fantastic, I have never seen so many young people with such a variety of needs involved in the same game together” – P.E. Teacher at Watergate School, Lewisham
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ‘Schools Challenge’ requires as many young people as possible to hit a ball bowled to them by a Cricket for Change coach in 1 hour. The school with the largest number of young people involved wins a very special prize - as simple as that! In addition, all schools will also be presented with a certificate for taking part.
