Inner London Programme

Supporting youth from London's most deprived areas

Programme Overview

We work with young people aged 7-19 from under-represented groups in inner London boroughs facing high levels of deprivation. Many face challenges including social, educational, and racial inequality.

Our residential programmes combine cricket with life skills development, adventure challenges, and visits to the beautiful Sussex countryside. Young people stay for 2, 3, or 4 nights, experiencing activities many have never had access to before.

What We Offer

• Cricket Coaching

Professional coaching sessions on our world-famous ground, building skills and confidence through sport.

• Bushcraft & Orienteering

Outdoor adventure activities that teach problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience.

• Life Skills Workshops

Sessions focusing on communication, leadership, goal-setting, and personal development.

• Beach Visits

Trips to the Sussex coast, often a first-time experience for many young people.

• Castle Tours

Educational visits to historic Arundel Castle, enriching cultural experiences.

• Team Building

Activities that strengthen bonds, build trust, and develop collaborative skills.

"The whole Arundel experience is a first for many of our students. These children come from areas where the pressure to join a gang is relentless, the opportunity to be a child again is a relief. I regularly see complete transformations in my students, they lose that defensive look, they relax, smile and laugh."

— Teacher from Duke's Aldridge Academy
