Community Projects
Alongside our named projects, we work with schools, community organisations and local partners on youth activities, outreach events and initiatives that build confidence, connection and belonging. These projects grow as funding and partnerships allow.
Kings Rangatahi Active
A proposed 12-week youth initiative using non-contact boxing-inspired movement, games and physical activity to create positive experiences for rangatahi who may have fewer opportunities to participate. The program focuses on participation, confidence, connection and enjoyment while introducing young people to physical activity in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Kings Youth Access Fund
Providing confidential financial assistance to eligible local families when cost is preventing a young person from participating or continuing in sport and youth-development opportunities. The fund is designed to remove financial barriers so young people who want to be involved can stay involved, regardless of their family’s circumstances.
Kings Summer Strong
A free, intensive school-holiday youth development experience combining boxing, physical activity, teamwork, outdoor challenges, confidence-building and goal-setting. Kings Summer Strong gives local young people the opportunity to stay active, build new skills, develop confidence and connect with positive coaches and role models in a supportive environment.
Our Projects
Kings Youth Development Charitable Trust delivers and develops practical, structured projects that make sport, mentoring and positive opportunities more accessible for young people. Below are our current and developing projects. Some are already operating; others are being developed and are subject to funding and partnerships.
Accessing Support
Step 1: Enquire about support
Get in touch to tell us briefly about the young person, their circumstances and the support they may need. We’ll have an initial confidential conversation to see whether the Youth Access Fund may be able to help.
Step 2: Eligibility Review
We’ll discuss your circumstances confidentially and determine whether the support requested fits the purpose and eligibility criteria of the Youth Access Fund.
Step 3: Approval & Support
If approved, you will receive confidential financial assistance to help your child continue their participation.
