Sporting Jobs, global leaders in sports recruitment, are thrilled to announce its new partnership with Bat for a Chance as our Official Cricket Charity. This collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting journey to support underprivileged children worldwide, helping them experience the joy and opportunities cricket brings.

Bat for a Chance is a charitable initiative with a mission to make cricket accessible to children who might otherwise miss out. Through collecting and sourcing cricket clothing and equipment, both new and high-quality second-hand, they provide these resources to schools, clubs, and academies across the globe. By breaking down barriers to participation, Bat for a Chance plays a vital role in fostering inclusivity and growth within the cricket community.

At Sporting Jobs, we value the opportunity to partner with charities that are making a tangible difference in the lives of young people through sport. Our shared passion for creating opportunities and driving positive change makes this partnership a natural fit. Together, we hope to expand the reach of cricket and support Bat for a Chance in bringing its vision to life.

“As soon as we began talking to Will, I wanted Sporting Jobs to work with Bat for a Chance and help support their growth moving forward. Will’s passion for the charity mirrors the values we have here at Sporting Jobs and given the amount of work we do in Cricket, it seemed a perfect charity for us to partner with” Harry Lynch, Recruitment Director at Sporting Jobs

This partnership underlines Sporting Jobs’ commitment to not only excelling in sports recruitment but also contributing to the broader sports community. By joining forces with Bat for a Chance, we’re proud to play a role in making cricket accessible to children everywhere, providing them with the resources and inspiration to thrive both on and off the field.

We also reached out to Will Gaffney, founder of Bat for a Chance: “We’re thrilled to announce Sporting Jobs as our official recruitment partner at Bat for a Chance. We were introduced to Harry and his team by a mutual contact within Cricket and feel that their values align with ours seamlessly. Sporting Jobs work with several large cricket clubs, teams and organisations and they are well placed to support us with our recruitment but also in our quest to grow strategically over time.”
