The International Community Cricket Trust Limited (ICCT) is a not-for-profit company Limited by Guarantee (registered in England & Wales No: 5696219) and UK Registered Charity No: 1119716, of which its projects arm - On-Side Cricket Ltd (OSCL) and the International Institute of Cricket Umpiring & Scoring (IICUS) - are wholly-owned, not-for-profit, subsidiaries.

Objects and Purposes:

(i)      The principal founding Objects of ICCT are:

• to pro-actively support and promote increased participation in non-professional 'grass-roots', recreational and local community club cricket at all levels amongst both male and female able-bodied players AND male and female players of all ages with CC1, CC2 and CC3 category disabilities;
  
  
• through recreational cricket, to:
  
  

  a)	help raise the levels of physical fitness and mental alertness amongst all age groups in local communities;
  b)	facilitate (in younger players particularly) the development of all-round and specialist personal playing skills, personal self-confidence, a sense of achievement, and the attainment of recognised sports qualifications (e.g. coaching, umpiring, etc); and,
  c)	help promote and advance inter-racial, ethnic and cultural respect, understanding and communication within and between local communities.

(ii)     The principal founding Purposes of ICCT are to:

• provide local 'grass-roots', recreational cricket clubs of all types, sizes and standards, playing at all different levels, with a dedicated, freely-accessible, professional, empathetic, 'one-stop-resource' facility able to offer a wide range of complementary practical support services and benefits to supplement those provided by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the 38 England County Cricket Boards, the ECB Trust/A Chance to Shine and Cricket Scotland.
  
  (Please note: ICCT does NOT source or provide financial support, sponsorship, or playing kit for individuals).

• organise, phase-in and administer a combination of high-profile, local, regional and national competitive events and co-ordinated 'outside-the-box' recruitment campaigns, each of which is unique and specifically designed to help local recreational cricket clubs expand their player and volunteer membership bases and stimulate much greater local community interest and participation in non-professional cricket;
  
  
• undertake or commission detailed local, regional and national research studies into, for example, (i) (currently) the reasons for the high drop-out rates of - and the inability to retain - young players from recreational cricket club junior sections; (ii) the reasons for the wide-ranging national and international inconsistencies in the standards of umpiring and scoring and in the education, development, qualification and grading of not only umpires and scorers, but also of their Course tutors/instructors, examiners and assessors.
