We want cricket to be accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds
Our story
Cricketqube is a Community Interest Company (CIC) founded in 2023, aiming to make cricket accessible to everyone. We bring cricket to where people are — schools, care homes, parks, and community spaces across the North East and beyond.
We run fun, inclusive sessions for all ages and abilities, from five-year-olds learning how to hold the bat to centenarians rediscovering movement and connection through our care home sessions.
Each session is designed to build confidence, connection, and well-being. We’re making cricket part of everyday life again — anywhere, anytime.
Our Values
Mission
Our mission is to make cricket accessible to everyone. We have developed new ways of playing cricket to ensure that everyone can enjoy the game anywhere, at any time.
Vision
A world where cricket is an affordable, accessible sport. A world where your race, gender and age do not stand in your way to becoming the best player and person you can be.
