Chippenham Cricket Club play in the picturesque surroundings of Chippenham Park Estate in Cambridgeshire and close to Newmarket. The club has 5 adult sides made up of a Sunday friendly team, two Saturday league teams plus two sides that play during the week, one in the local competition, The La Hogue Midweek Evening League, and another that plays declaration matches in the afternoon. Getting youngsters interested is also very important to us. We currently run U9, U11,U13 and U15 teams. We run coaching for Junior members throughout the year and currently have over 70 junior members. We are very proud that four boys and one girl from our Junior section have represented the County. We also host junior cricket camps during the school holidays and junior tournaments involving other local clubs. One of the great things about the majority of cricket we play is that all ages and abilities can play in the same team and make important contributions to the side’s performance. Last season the age range of the players representing the senior teams team was between 11 and 66, including a number of fathers & sons playing in the same team. We also make a big effort to get the whole family involved and mums and daughters are out in force at our family Kwik cricket evenings on Fridays in the summer. The club takes its role in the community very seriously and continues to receive exceptional support from both cricketers and non cricketers in the village. The running costs of the club exceeds £12K per year and fundraising plays a crucial part in achieving this. In addition the club is currently fundraising to build a new pavilion that meets the needs of the club today.
The Healthy Living Club is a charity based in the London Borough of Lambeth that promotes the wellbeing of people with dementia and their carers. Dementia is one of the most common causes of disability among the old. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning ability, language, behaviour, mobility and continence. Yet, the Healthy Living Club is a happy place and is a “lifeline” for our members. We gather in the communal areas of a local extra-care scheme to participate, together with the residents, in activities that are both healthy and fun. Over the last 12 months, our Wednesday Club alone has provided over 250 hours of activities (such as keep-fit, music-making, drama, art and singing) that have kept us healthy and joyful. Every year about 90 people benefit. An independent study, using tools of measurement developed by the New Economic Foundation, found that the 30K we spent in a year produced £500k of "social value". The charity started with a Wednesday gathering that at present accommodates an average of 43 members each week, the majority being people with dementia. Due to a long waiting list and to meet the needs of those who wouldn't be able to take part in a larger group, we started another Club on Mondays in the same premises that at the moment has 12 participants. We also run a regular Sunday “Crafternoon” and monthly carers groups. In addition, we try to promote a more positive image of people with dementia nationally, mainly through making good use of social media. Our Clubs include carers, older adults with long-term conditions other than dementia and volunteers as equal members. We all engage in activities that meet the needs of people with dementia, but that all our other members enjoy too. Our Clubs are not services. They are communities within which there is no "us" and "them". We replace loneliness with sense of belonging to a community within which the sense of ownership is shared.
