Trinity Housing Law barrister, Tom Tyson, has featured in North Yorkshire Council’s ‘Team North Yorkshire’ campaign, celebrating the impact that the hard work by volunteers is having on their local communities.
Tom is the 4th IV team captain at Malton and Old Malton Cricket Club based in the heart of Ryedale in North Yorkshire. He has also volunteered as a coach for almost 10 years. He coaches the Club’s Under 15 and junior teams, as well as leading the coaching for this season’s women and girls’ teams. He is a vocal champion of women and girls’ involvement in cricket and, with the Club, has seen an increase in female participation at their Saturday sessions.
Commenting on his contribution to the Club, Tom said:
“Coaching gives me the opportunity to switch off and means I can give something back to a Club which welcomed me in…I do it for the love of the Club and to ensure it has a bright future by training the next generation.” Tom added, “The Club is a place where young people can gain confidence, forge friendships and improve their physical and mental health. We aim to ensure we offer a safe and welcoming environment for all.”
North Yorkshire Council has published a series of videos celebrating the significant contribution volunteers are making across the region, including an interview with Tom.
Trinity Chambers is proud to be one of the main sponsors of Malton and Old Malton Cricket Club and is supporting the ongoing development at the Club including a range of improvements to its facilities to meet the requirements of ECB Premier Division status. This includes the addition of two new sight screens, Wi-Fi in the scorebox and a row of sponsorship boards.
The Club fields four senior Saturday teams and, playing on Thursday evenings, a Ryedale Beckett League side. In total, there are nearly 140 league-registered players.
