KICK
There is a sense of hopelessness in many young people today as 1/3 young people aged 15 identify with a mental health condition, 2 million grow up without a father at home, 95% are disconnected from communities. We aim to transform young peoples lives, with God’s love, through sport and support. We do this through values-driven physical education, street dance, mentoring, chaplaincy in schools and community KICK Academies to impact a sense of hopelessness. KICK currently deliver sessions within 60 schools, provide access to 23 Kick Academies within the community and engage with 12,683 each week in order to fulfil our mission.
