Lancashire Cricket Foundation is launching weekly Walking Cricket sessions at two venues in Greater Manchester from September 2021
This project has been made possible through funding from the National Lottery Awards for All.
Walking Cricket makes cricket accessible to older adults (men and women aged over 50) and individuals who are semi–retired or retired. It is an adaptation of the traditional game of cricket to suit those with less mobility and caters for different abilities.
The sessions are led by a trained coach and start with gentle ball skill exercises which build up into a game, followed by a chat with complimentary refreshments.
Today, Chris Boardman, Chair of Sport England, set off on his 8-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris.
Investment from NHS Greater Manchester is worth £2m over the next three years to March 2027.
Pedal for Paris will start in Greater Manchester next week.
