Founded in 1984 by Professor Binna Kandola OBE, Pearn Kandola has been around for a pretty long time, much before words like diversity, belonging, bias and inclusion entered the vocabulary at work!
For 40 years, our mission has been simple: to make the world fairer.
We have worked organisations of all sizes, in all sectors to help them create workplaces where difference is valued so they can reap the DEI dividend: employee engagement, enhanced innovation, better financial performance.
Keen to speed up the pace of progress, we built Kandola+, an intelligent DEI learning platform that has been proven to deliver more inclusive behaviours within organisations.
Kandola+ is incredibly proud to be the Platinum Sponsor of SACA and to be a small part of the wonderful work the SACA team are doing to increase the representation of professional British South Asian cricketers across the UK.
​
The Warwickshire Cricket Board (WCB) is responsible for all recreational (i.e. non professional) cricket in the county. They work closely with the England & Wales Cricket Board ‘to provide a cricketing future for all’, and liaise closely with the professional game via their colleagues at Warwickshire County Cricket Club.
​
The WCB co-ordinate and support a wide range of activities designed to provide playing opportunities for adults, boys, girls and people with disabilities. They have supported SACA through the combination of funding, coaching, mentorship and research to help implement the inaugural SACA girls programme.
​
SACA will continue to work closely with the WCB, to mutually develop an understanding of how best to approach the development and retention of female British South Asian players.
