• Develop and deliver a schools’ programme for targeted wards in the city
• Increase the diversity of coaches and umpires in the game in Bristol
As the Diverse Communities Officer for Bristol, you will utilise the power of cricket to help achieve positive physical health, mental wellbeing and social outcomes and ensure cricket is accessible,
