CHANCE TO SHINE
Affiliated to the Cricket Foundation, Chance to Shine seeks to develop crucial life skills and values in young people across Britain by ‘regenerating competitive cricket in state schools’.
IODR joined forces with Chance to Shine (and also fellow children’s charities Save The Children and PCA Benevolent Fund) in November 2005, recording a charity single to raise funds for victims and survivors of the 2005 Asia Earthquake. A film and sound crew were flown to Faislabad in Pakistan especially to record the single, along with a video.
The single is entitled ‘Jerusalem’, a cover of the famous hymn, and features the Ashes Test Series-winning England Cricket Team with British soprano Keedie.
