Lawson brings a wealth of leadership and commercial expertise, honed over a distinguished career at BP and Mercuria Energy Group. His strategic acumen, coupled with a profound passion for cricket and community engagement, makes him uniquely qualified to lead MCC through an exciting era of growth and innovation for the Club.   On his appointment, Rob Lawson commented: “I am deeply honoured to take on the role of Chief Executive & Secretary at MCC, a club that embodies the spirit and tradition of cricket. I look forward to collaborating with Mark, the Members, the Committee and the entire MCC team, to build on its storied history while navigating the opportunities and challenges of modern cricket and the Club’s constant mission to be working for the good of the game.” More ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eVDMHwVA

MCC’s Community team expanded its reminiscence programme in 2023, utilising evidence from Dementia UK which shows that listening to or engaging in music can help people with dementia develop and maintain relationships with others and improve their well-being.   It is estimated that over 74,000 people in London are living with dementia, including over 1,800 in Westminster alone, and after initially inviting local residents to attend sessions at Lord’s, in 2024 MCC decided to take the programme to members of the community that may have issues getting out and about. The Club now delivers frequent music therapy sessions at three care homes and day centres in Westminster.   Taking the programme to the local community has more than doubled the amount of people that benefit from the sessions, with over 500 residents taking part to date. Each of the care homes and day centres taking part have said how their service users were “more engaged” after the programme and that the sessions are a valuable weekly resource.   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dz5yrcDP

With #COP29 currently ongoing, Marylebone Cricket Club is proud to provide a season review of all the sustainability work undertaken so far in 2024, and the launch of a new sustainability campaign, Batting For a Better Future, encompassing exciting plans for 2025. In 2024, MCC made significant strides in its sustainability commitments by focusing on emissions, waste management, and energy efficiency. A big moment in the 2024 season saw the floodlights at Lord’s converted to LEDs, becoming the first major international Test cricket venue in the UK to do so. The Club recycled 51% of its waste, up from 17% in 2022, reduced water consumption by 15.5% and diverted 100% of waste from landfill. Innovative approaches included installing electric lawnmowers and using natural, recyclable coconut fibres for practice wickets. The culmination of the season also coincided with MCC releasing an updated version of its Carbon Impact Report, which builds on the success of last season’s net zero strategy. ‘A Journey to Net Zero Carbon,’ highlights the Club’s commitment to environmental sustainability and carbon reduction.
