The charity works in state schools and under-served communities to deliver best-in-class cricket programmes to young people aged 5 to 24.

It wants them to learn a love of the game and to find a sense of belonging, developing their wider wellbeing and helping to fulfil their potential.

In Peterborough last year, Chance to Shine brought the joy of cricket to nine schools with 250 hours of coaching, inspiring more than 100 children in Years 3–6 through exciting competitions.

It also created opportunities for young people through a Street Youth Club programme - a combined investment of nearly £13,000 into the community.

Raffle organiser Joel Lamy said: "Anyone who has seen Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams on the BBC would have witnessed the transformative effect cricket can have on a young person's life.

"And as a lover of cricket, I am determined to make sure more young people get the chance to sample this wonderful sport, particularly in the Peterborough area where I live and where there are high levels of deprivation.

Anorexia left me minutes from death: I want to use my second chance to help others

Image
In June this year I collapsed at home and was minutes away from dying. My body had shut down because of my anorexia - and it was only the timely intervention of my wife and the speedy work from paramedics which kept me alive. It is a miracle I'm still alive: Naomi was due to be out that day but cancelled her plans and was around when I collapsed. I was meant to be on my way to London in a car - if I had gotten in then I would have died in there. If the paramedics hadn't been on the scene in minutes then it would have been too late. They reckon I was 30 minutes away from not surviving. I have previously documented the reasons on this blog why things reached this stage - including numerous NHS failures, many of which have continued since - but that is not the reason for this post. I have told almost nobody how close I came to dying because I didn't want to share it, not even with my closest friends. But I've come to realise this isn't about me any more, it's abo...

Why is an NHS trust stopping me from receiving potentially life-changing treatment?

Image
Having always had a difficult relationship with food, weight and exercise, a decline in my health during the pandemic led to me becoming anorexic and losing a lot of weight.  At that time I still weighed over 9 stone, but I would check my weight three or four times a day and see myself limit the amount I would drink in case it made me heavier.  Things have since become worse, and I now weigh under 6 1/2 stone, with a BMI of around 13. I truly want to get better, but for so many reasons putting weight on is difficult.  Firstly, it's the mental battle. A slight increase in my weight terrifies me - it makes me scared that I'm out of control and will become fat again, rekindling feelings I had as a teen. I sometimes take out half a spoon of rice from my meal to calm myself down.  But my needs are even more complex because I have severe IBS and Functional Neurological Disorder which makes it really painful to eat as my nerves are ultra sensitive. I find eating solid ...

My shocking anorexia treatment and how the NHS has abandoned me again

Image
After a recent spell of in-patient treatment for anorexia after my BMI had nearly gone into single figures, I returned home with no community support - a common problem for many with eating disorders. How I look today. An image of me a month ago would be too bad for people to see I had no diet plan, no professionals to speak to and no idea of what to do, with emails asking for help or advice ignored. Since then, my wife and I have had to go it alone in a bid to keep my weight from plummeting again, while dealing with the daily mental struggles that living with anorexia brings. For those who are unaware, anorexia is the biggest killer of all mental health conditions. It is also that rare thing - an illness which the sufferer doesn't often want to recover from.  I know that from personal experience. It is why my family and I have spent years asking for help but receiving none from the NHS, and even having referrals to specialist hospitals who can help me blocked. My weight is now ar...
