About Durham Cricket
Durham Cricket Foundation is the official charity and community arm of Durham Cricket, dedicated to supporting communities and growing the game.
The Foundation's work is focused around two key objectives: to ensure recreational cricket in the region thrives - the charity acts as the governing body of the sport in the region and work with 101 cricket clubs - and to design programmes around the real needs of the community - investing in people's futures and creating opportunities that go beyond the game.
Through their initiatives and projects, Durham Cricket Foundation reach and impact the lives of thousands of people within the region through the power of cricket.

Where do the proceeds go?
In 2024, the Durham Cricket Foundation entered a new era - uniting the former Foundation and Durham Cricket Board under a single mission: to bridge the power of sport with the real needs of the community.
Under the 'Howzat' partnership, funds raised through the NYCDA Weekly Draw will go directly into focus programme areas aligned with the Foundation's five-year strategy. These include:
- Expanding inclusive cricket programmes for women, girls, disabled players and South Asian communities
- Delivering health and wellbeing initiatives like Walking Cricket, creative arts groups and work with the Great North Children's Hospital
- Supporting over 100 grassroots cricket clubs and developing new opportunities for young people to get involved
- Growing community projects to tackle social isolation, promote mental health and strengthen local communities and connection
