Company activities and impact

In 2025, Cricket Arena CIC delivered cricket, sport and community activities across Sheffield and Rotherham, supporting over 200 participants per week. Our work focused on inclusion, youth development, health and wellbeing, and community cohesion, primarily with young people and underserved communities. Programmes included ECB All Stars and Dynamos Cricket delivered at local mosques, the Junior Hundred and Youth Hundred competitions, the BBICL and Mini Bash indoor leagues, 50 Not Out over-50s sessions, the Court Queens women and girls programme, weekly youth sports clubs, football, badminton, padel, trips and youth development workshops. Sheffield's Junior Hundred winners went on to win the Yorkshire Finals Day for a third consecutive year in partnership with Yorkshire Cricket Foundation and Caribbean Sports Club, supported by the MHCLG Windrush Day Grant and Near Neighbours. We launched our website (cricketarena.co.uk) and purchased a 17-seater minibus to improve access and transport for participants.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders in 2025 included participants, parents, volunteers, community partners, local mosques, schools, sports clubs, funders and local authorities. We consulted stakeholders through youth forums, session feedback, surveys, social media and informal conversations. An independent evaluation of our 2024 VRU-funded project was completed by Rocket Science, including interviews with participants, parents, staff and partners. Key feedback highlighted the need for more provision for women and girls, which is a priority for 2026. Stakeholders also expressed continued support for a permanent community sports space, which we are actively exploring.

Directors' remuneration

Directors did not receive remuneration for their duties as directors. Some directors were paid separately for coaching and delivery work under contractual agreements. Full details are provided in the company's 2025 accounts under staff costs.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
