Middlesex in the Community (MITC) is a new initiative charged with the delivery of physical activity, health, education, wellbeing, and social inclusion in Middlesex. We are the participation and community arm of Middlesex County Cricket Club (MCCC), and whilst governed by our own board of Trustees, we report periodically into the club’s main board.
Our mission is to increase participation and engagement across our diverse county and run exciting projects which deliver lasting impact, making cricket more accessible for all. We want everyone to say that ‘cricket is a game for me’, and are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusivity at every level. We are also committed to removing barriers to engagement and participation, particularly amongst communities that have a history of exclusion and who are underrepresented in the grassroots and professional levels.
We want to grow and strengthen the game, support our local communities, and inspire the county we serve by drawing on the knowledge of our people, the reach of our brand, and our cricket expertise to deliver positive outcomes. To help us achieve our ambitions as we approach the next phase in our development as a charity, MITC is now seeking to recruit 3 new Trustees to join our Board. Joining MITC as a Trustee affords you the opportunity to play a key role in our strategic oversight and leadership.
