The Lord’s Taverners is a thriving club, the official charity for recreational cricket and the UK’s leading youth cricket and disability sports charity.
We envisage a future where all young people, irrespective of background and ability, have the everyday opportunity to play cricket and other competitive sports and enjoy physical activities to the benefit of their self-esteem, health, education and future socio-economic potential.
Our charitable mission is to enhance the prospects of disadvantaged and disabled young people using cricket and other forms of sport and recreation to engage with them. Our strongest sporting relationships are with the cricketing family, but we also work with a wide range of other sports including rugby, football, tennis and basketball.
The Lord’s Taverners benefits hugely from the fundraising activities of The Lady Taverners, Young Lord’s Taverners, our Regions and 5,000 Members, many of them drawn from the world of sport and entertainment.
