At Shropshire Cricket Board, we recognise that our people are at the heart of everything we do. Supporting cricket across the county takes dedication, energy and care, and we believe that same care should extend to our staff.

We are pleased to announce that we have signed a two-year agreement with Trust in Me Counselling Services, led by Stephanie Smith.

This partnership provides confidential counselling support for our staff, available to access when they feel the time is right for them.

Wellbeing is not something we view as optional. As an organisation, we understand the importance of creating a supportive environment where staff feel valued, heard and able to prioritise their mental health.

By offering access to professional counselling services, we are reinforcing our commitment to safeguarding not only our participants, but also those who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Steve Reese, Lead Officer, said:

“Our staff work incredibly hard to support cricket across Shropshire, often balancing busy professional and personal commitments. It is important to us as a Board that we provide meaningful support in return. Partnering with Trust in Me Counselling Services reflects our commitment to staff wellbeing and to creating a positive, supportive working environment. Looking after our people enables them to continue delivering the best possible service to our cricketing community.”

We are proud to invest in the wellbeing of our team and to continue building a culture where support, understanding and professional growth go hand in hand.
