Emma, who many members will know has been at the heart of the club for a number of years, has done a host of roles ranging from Social Media and Marketing, Club events, and more recently spearheaded the Disability, SEND and Schools program at the club.

It is this last role, in which she has almost singlehandedly created an inspiring environment for disabled and disadvantaged children and adults, for which she has been awarded this national honour.

Emma has been driving local and regional engagement with many schools, and disability organisations to give access to those not ordinarily able to access cricket. Some of the cricket revolves around the exciting game of table cricket - which last year held its national finals at Lords where there were several representatives from Devon. Emma was there to see it!

In addition Emma has helped to ensure that as many school children as possible who don't ordinarily have access to cricket can use the incredible facilities at BSCC as ofter as possible. 100s of children in 2025 had the chance to play cricket through her programs.

In all we're very proud of what Emma, and the wider team at BSCC have done to facilitate crick for those less fortunate....and we thank her for her continued work to make cricket a game for everyone....
