Summary
At The Ace Community Programme Charity you will work towards your L3 Community Sport and Health Officer Qualification over the course of 12-18 Months.
The ACE Programme was launched by Surrey County Cricket Club in January 2020 in response to the decline of the black British professional players by 75%, and less than 1% of the recreational game. The ACE Programme was designed to engage young people of African and Caribbean Heritage and a talent search was launched.
In Black History Month, October 2020, following significant investment of £540,000 from Sport England, The ACE Programme Charity launched as an independent charity. Three years after delivery, the charity is pleased to be an official partner of Sport England and England & Wales Cricket Board, providing opportunities for African and Caribbean heritage children to access cricket across six cities - London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield.

The purpose of the role is to support the charity with their aim to increase participation predominantly within the black British communities by supporting and improving the experience of everyone involved whether they play, attend or follow the game.
