Community cricket partnership for young people launches in Hounslow
By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A new community cricket partnership has launched in Hounslow, bringing together the council, Middlesex in the Community (MITC), Sky and Sport Impact to deliver cricket opportunities for young people across the borough.
The initiative aims to introduce the sport to children and teenagers who may not otherwise have access to it, using cricket as a vehicle for building confidence, teamwork and physical activity. Middlesex in the Community is the charitable arm of Middlesex Cricket and has a track record of running outreach programmes in London schools and community venues.
Chiswick has a number of parks and open spaces that could potentially host sessions as the programme expands. Parents and young people interested in getting involved are encouraged to check with the council and with MITC directly for details of sessions in their area.
The partnership reflects a broader push by the council to increase participation in sport among young Hounslow residents, particularly in communities where cricket has historically been popular but access to facilities and coaching has been limited. Community cricket partnership launches in Hounslow
