Club Statement - 16/11/21

We acknowledge the serious allegations made today and will investigate any claims made about our club, past or present, as a matter of urgency. We have a zero-tolerance approach to racism and discrimination and any player, staff or club member who commits, or is found to have committed discrimination will face disciplinary action.

Until today, we were unaware of any claims of racism or discrimination arising from our club but would like to apologise unreservedly to any individual who feels that they have experienced any form of discrimination.  The leadership team at LCCC  would encourage any individual who feels that they have been subjected to any form of discrimination to come forward and report this to us so that we can thoroughly investigate. Please call our dedicated reporting phone line on 0116 283 2128 followed by 0 and then 500 to leave a message. Please be assured that all reports will be investigated in the strictest of confidence.

Like the city of Leicester itself, we are proud to be one of the most multicultural cricket clubs in the UK. In recent years, our leadership team has gone to extraordinary lengths to form close bonds with community leaders, to develop our understanding and make the club a safe space for everyone, no matter what background, sexual orientation, faith, race or other characteristic and we are undertaking every effort to build on the work we are doing. We are a club with a diverse workforce, playing staff, coaching staff and board and will continue to promote a culture of equality and inclusion.
