Previously known as Hampshire Cricket in the Community, the Hampshire Cricket Foundation is the aligned charity to Hampshire Cricket and the Ageas Bowl.
It has a fresh new look but more importantly a specific new purpose to help deliver a Healthier Future for people in our community.
We will do this by raising funds to support 4 key objectives:

2. Screening
Fund cardiac screening for every 14-year old club cricketer in Hampshire, each year for undiagnosed heart defects that can cause Sudden Cardiac Death
Fund a range of other cardio-vascular screening programmes at the Ageas Bowl and at Cricket Clubs across Hampshire
Cost - £70,000 p.a
3. Children's Healthy Heart Programme
Help reduce obesity in Primary School children by introducing a Healthy Heart programme into every Primary School in Hampshire

4. Cardiac Rehabilitation
Offer 3,000 heart patients per year, a supervised exercise and rehabilitation programme to help them to a long-term recovery post discharge from their NHS treatment
