Established in 2025, The Roy Simpson MBE Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the platform for young and aspiring cricketers to play the game they love across the North East of England.
We’re dedicated to helping to provide the best facilities, equipment and coaching for more boys and girls of East Durham to be introduced to cricket and begin enjoying the game.
Roy’s greatest passion lay in the development of young cricketers and seeing children playing the game he loved. This Foundation is here to keep that passion alive.
