We're in the customer vote for a Tesco Stronger Starts grant which gives community projects such as ours up to £1,500. You can vote for us in the Tesco Superstore and Tesco Express in Melton from mid-January by putting a blue token in our slot. We will use the grant to deliver free Kwik Cricket taster sessions in local primary schools, followed by out-of-school coaching at five community venues - Melton, Asfordby, Great Dalby, Hose and Knipton - to get children active and having fun together. Please vote for us every time you shop at Tesco in Melton and share this post with your friends as 'every little helps'. Thank you!

“Our pupils absolutely loved their day out at Belvoir which included ‘Kwik-Cricket’, throwing and catching, archery, orienteering, birds of prey and meeting hounds. Our pupils come from inner-city Nottingham where the opportunity to participate in these enriching activities is very limited. The BCCT provided them with a highly structured, enriching and fun day out, where they had the opportunity to develop their cricket skills, participate in new sports and develop new skills and talents. Every adult from the BCCT was incredibly personable, helpful, fun and engaged with every pupil.”
