Dream Big Desi Women

Through the Dream Big Desi Women campaign, the ECB is taking cricket to non-traditional centres, including faith centres and community settings, and signing up hundreds of South Asian female volunteers.

Dream Big launched across eight urban centres, with the aim of inspiring 2,000 South Asian women to take up volunteering roles in cricket.

In the first year of Dream Big, 549 female volunteers signed up and despite all the challenges of the pandemic, dozens more joined in 2020 with another nine centres added to the programme.

The emphasis is on fun, enjoyment and engagement. Cric-kitty Parties had food, games and prizes. Some of the activities from the All Stars programme were tweaked so, for example, flip the cone became flip the samosa.

You can be part of something special and help children learn, have fun and create memories together through our national All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket programmes.

Volunteer to become a trained Activator and join hundreds of women from Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan backgrounds who are making a real difference to children and their communities.
