E11 | Sean Carey | Building Care Home Cricket For The Forgotten Generation

Our guest this week may not be the most famous person we’ve had on the show.

But just because he hasn’t scored a century at lord’s, or hasn’t commentated on a world cup final, does not mean his story is any less worthy of our time.

On the contrary in fact, Director of Clock Cricket CIC Sean Carey’s day job - which he sees more as a privilege than a job - is to bring one of the most inclusive forms of cricket to the forgotten generation.

When I say inclusive, I mean it. From the carers to the cared for, from stroke recovery units to care homes, clock cricket is for everyone: Queue Sean’s impromptu catchphrase: Don’t just stand there, if you’re in the room, your playing. Just as the suited and booted Clinical Directors who stumble upon a game, and finding themselves scoring 6 runs for hitting the ceiling minutes later.

Above all, though, it’s about helping people to live well. As Sean say, his job is simple: “We go in and we throw a ball at people, we'll give them some exercise and make them happy for an hour.” --- Want clips, bonus content and more? Follow our socials!
