Next year, in 2026, Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation (ACCF) will turn 40! Since launching in 1986, more than 50,000 young people have taken part in our cricket-centred education and enrichment programmes, benefitting from opportunities designed to inspire and empower.
As we approach our 40th anniversary year, we’re launching the ACCF Alumni – a chance to reconnect with everyone who has been part of our journey and to celebrate four decades of impact.
Were you once part of an ACCF programme? We want to hear from you!
Whether you joined us as a participant, group leader, staff member, parent or supporter, your story is part of the ACCF legacy and we would love to hear how your time at Arundel impacted you.
A number of former attendees have remained in touch and shared how their experiences impacted them. A great example is Arfan Akram, now an ACCF Trustee and a member of the MCC Board, who first came to Arundel from Walthamstow at the age of 10. He speaks of how the visit empowered him and sparked a belief in his own potential and future.
Stories like Arfan’s show just how lasting and meaningful the ACCF experience can be and we know there are many more stories out there. If you were once an ACCF participant we’d love to keep in touch.
Ways to connect
Please reconnect with us or share your ACCF story by dropping us a line at foundation@arundelcastlecricket.co.uk or complete our short form and we will be in touch. Whilst we are primarily seeking former participants we would also love to hear from parents, teachers and group leaders.
By joining the ACCF Alumni, you can:
- Connect and network with fellow alumni in a supportive, growing community.
- Inspire the next generation by sharing your experiences.
- Help shape the future of ACCF by contributing ideas and feedback on our programmes and events.
- You’ll also have the chance to take part in exclusive alumni events, matches and gatherings – set in the unforgettable surroundings of Arundel Castle Cricket.
Join us as we celebrate our past, reconnect in the present and build an exciting ACCF future.
