Trent Bridge Community Trust - Impact Report 2025

We saw another significant year of growth in the women and girls’ game in Notts, with an additional 9 girls and 7 women’s sections established which now means 41% of our recreational clubs have a women’s or girls’ section. Providing more competitive opportunities has led to us increasing the number of women and girls’ teams by 24. These numbers have exceeded the expectations that we set ourselves this year and we are proud of our dedicated women and girls’ officers and the volunteers within our clubs that have helped make this happen. Our free community programmes also continued to flourish this year. Chance to Shine Street remains ever- present in the city and our newest Street Club in Newark is also thriving. In total, 326 young people took up the opportunity to play Street Cricket in 2025, up 14% from 2024. In St Ann’s our ACE hub continues to grow and evolve; with over 45 young people registered for the programme and with regular attendances of 24, the programme has grown significantly from 2024. In addition, our ACE Development Academy, supported by our counterparts across the East Midlands, now has 16 talented young players attending winter training. The success of these two elements of ACE in Nottingham, alongside a robust ACE Schools Programme working in targeted schools, contributes to us delivering one of the top performing ACE programmes in the country. The Lord’s Taverners Wicketz programme saw further growth this year, providing weekly sessions to 126 boys and girls from the city and Ashfield. Nottinghamshire Fire Service and The Royal Navy teamed up to deliver workshops to help improve teamwork, communication and personal development.
