Two senior league minority clubs, Welsh Asians and Cardiff Gymkhana, needed funds to develop their youth players. The clubs needed a youth club section, new sports equipment and wanted to train selected members to become qualified coaches.
The Cardiff and Vale Cricket Coaches Association and the Grangetown and Butetown Healthy Living Programme were jointly involved in the project. They provided a local grassroots coaching project.

Why was this project so good?
The project opens up new and additional opportunities for participation in sport, especially for young people living in the inner city areas of Cardiff. The application targets a priority area for support – the Black and minority ethnic community. The cricket club have developed a sustainable programme that will be delivered through volunteer leaders and coaches. Coaching and first aid qualifications for the volunteers have been funded by the Community Chest grant. The award provides essential equipment for the club for new young players.
This was a good application that will help the growth of cricket in an inner city area and develop new opportunities for the Black and minority ethnic community. The programme would probably have not taken place without Lottery funding.
