The Business of Cricket by cricexec

Lord’s Taverners is one of the most prominent cricket charities in the world.

Membership is by invitation only and the 5,000 members include prominent sports, entertainment and society figures such as Sir Michael Parkinson, Sir Alastair Cook, Sir Andrew Strauss, Greg James, Miles Jupp, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Jonathan Agnew and Mike Gatting. King Charles served as President in 1975.

Yet there is much more to the Taverners than a list of famous members.

On our episode, we’re joined by Chief Executive Mark Curtin and we delve into the history and the incredible work of the Lord’s Taverners.

Mark shares his insights on the charity’s mission to use cricket as a tool to empower disadvantaged and disabled young people across the UK.

We discuss:

• The history and core values of the Lord’s Taverners
• How the charity uses cricket to tackle social mobility and disability issues
• The impact of the Lord’s Taverners on young people’s lives
• Upcoming fundraising initiatives and how you can get involved
• International affiliates and membership

This episode is a must-listen for cricket fans passionate about giving back or anyone interested in the power of cricket – and sport in general – to create social change
