| Recipient Org: Description | The Valley Kings Foundation is a charitable organisation that serves as a dynamic educational and support hub for young people and adults in Somerset, UK. We are dedicated to offering advice, assistance, and programs that encapsulate physical activities and personal development. **Aims and Objectives:** Our organisation is committed to: A. **Personal Advancement:** We aim to enrich the lives of young people and adults by nurturing their life skills, enhancing their capacities, and amplifying their capabilities. This empowerment enables them to engage as independent, mature, and responsible members of society. B. **Educational Growth:** We are devoted to advancing educational opportunities and reducing barriers to education, thereby fostering an environment where learning and personal development go hand in hand. C. **Social Welfare and Inclusitivity:** By providing accessible recreational and leisure activities, we strive to improve the lives of those affected by age, infirmity, disability, poverty, or socio-economic circumstances. Our mission is to create a lasting positive impact through youth boxing training and other sports, helping people to overcome challenges and inspiring them to participate in physical activities. We use boxing as a key platform to promote physical and mental health, as well as healthy eating, while our mentoring program supports children and vulnerable adults in receiving effective training and career guidance. **Activities and Services:** - **Youth Boxing and Martial Arts Training:** We offer free boxing and martial arts classes for local children and disadvantaged adults, regardless of their level of experience or personal goals. - **Mentoring and Career Support:** Our mentoring program is designed to provide guidance and support to those looking to further their careers in sports and beyond. - **Up skilling Community-Based Staff:** We focus on training our staff to ensure that the Valley Kings Gym remains a sustainable, community-integrated facility that continues to have a positive impact well into the future. - **Community Engagement and Expansion:** By engaging with families and the community, we pave the way for expanding our role within the UK, delivering our message of empowerment, and fostering community connections. **Our Ethos and Vision:** We uphold a manifesto that enshrines equality, with every participant in the gym treated with the utmost respect. Our Code of Conduct extends beyond the gym, setting a standard for participation in all our Academy activities and ensuring full inclusion for children from any background. We envision a future where our EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) goals are deeply instilled in our participants, creating a safe space where all are equal and diversity is celebrated. With a team of highly experienced and professional coaches, we are equipped to offer effective training sessions. We would now like to branch out and work with the most vulnerable women in the community building strong ties with local agencies that support women that have suffered domestic violence and other forms of violence. |
