KCCT Coach Of The Year 2023
Malcolm Porter (Folkestone CC)

Malcom supported the first KCCT ‘Cricket and Tea’ event that the Trust ran through his club Folkestone CC. Seeing the value in what the Trust was starting to develop in the community and the introduction of Walking Cricket, Malcom has gone on to coach most of the KCCT Walking Cricket groups and at various events across South-East Kent. He has also been a champion for those living with dementia and the positive benefits that not only cricket can have as an activity but the social element of ‘Cricket and Tea’ bringing people together to connect. Malcom is a great role model for Walking Cricket and his involvement has been a major part of the success of the growth of Walking Cricket in the last year.

Kent Cricket Community Trust

With cricket having the unique ability to connect communities and improve lives, it is a sport that transcends generations and can reach beyond a diverse range of social boundaries in a way that few other sports do. Kent Cricket Community Trust (KCCT) aims to make a positive impact in the community by delivering projects and initiatives that engage hard to reach groups and provide programmes that support mental health, well-being, social inclusion and getting active.
