PROJECT FRONT FOOT CRICKET PROGRAM

Conceived in Mumbai′s Dharavi slum in February 2009, Project Front Foot is a Kit 4 Kids campaign in two distinct phases: the first to publicise the project and collect cast-off, out-grown and second-hand cricket kit and equipment in the UK; the second to get the kit to Mumbai and then set up and run a series of coaching clinics for the slum children.

Leading the project is Vic Mills, from Lindum Cricket Club. Vic has collected lots of cricket equipment including bats, stumps, pads, bags, shoes and other clothing, and LOTS of tennis balls!!. Vic has been out here 4 times in total, each time bringing more kit and helping with the coaching of the children.

The coaching takes place on 3 mornings each week at Indian Gymkhana, 15 minutes away on foot and whose management have very kindly allowed us to use their facilities.

The program caters to about 50 kids from 11 to 18.

We need cricket kit, coaches, assistance in developing and running a cricket program, and funds
