Mental Wellbeing & Suicide Prevention Through Cricket |

Opening Up Cricket are a charity run by cricketers for the cricket community which was formed in response to the death of Sefton Park CC wicket-keeper, Alex Miller, and a will to promote positive mental health in our sport.
As a result, the organisation was created with the aim of speaking to local cricketers about the experience of losing Alex in the hope that more conversations about this topic could prevent further tragedies.
Opening Up Cricket run a number of free, in person and online workshops and sessions to help clubs improve their wellbeing support.
