Regenerating cricket across London
CKC was set up in 1989 by Haydn Turner and Bill Greaves, two accomplished businessmen and friends and passionate life-long cricket supporters. Both wanted to address the lack of cricket on offer in London and regenerate cricket in schools.
By 1991, CKC had gained momentum and joined forces with other initiatives focused on establishing cricket in schools including the London Schools’ Cricket Association (LCCA) and the London Schools Cricket Project (LSCP) and in partnership they were operating across 19 London boroughs.
Since 2015, the charity has been steered by Shahidul Alam Ratan who is the CEO and Head of Development for CKC, promoted from the Development Manager. The charity has an active and accomplished board of trustees under the steerage of Haydn Turner, who had the vision all those years ago, and John Challinor who has been involved since 1991 as part of the partnership with the LSCP and LCCA.
