Chance to Shine Awards 2026 Now Open
Every year across Berkshire, we see incredible stories of young people discovering a love for cricket, coaches going above and beyond to inspire the next generation, and schools embracing the game to create lasting opportunities for their pupils.
Now it’s time to recognise those individuals and organisations through the Chance to Shine Awards 2026.
Whether it’s a young person who has grown in confidence through cricket, a coach who has made a real difference in their school or community, or a primary school that has fully embraced the Chance to Shine programme, these awards celebrate the people helping cricket change lives.
At Berkshire Cricket, we’re proud to work alongside schools and Chance to Shine coaches across the county, and we know there are countless inspiring stories waiting to be told. We’d love to see Berkshire well represented at this year’s awards, with finalists earning the opportunity to attend the prestigious awards ceremony at Lord’s Cricket Ground this November.
