KICK’S MISSION
At KICK, we are motivated to respond to a sense of hopelessness in many young people today as 1/3 of young
people aged 15 identify with a mental health condition, 2million grow up without a father at home, many are
disconnected from local communities with 95% now not attending church. We aspire to see a generation of young
people who will reach their God given potential; where communities have been socially impacted; and where
spiritual change has transformed a nation. Our mission is to transform young people’s 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 and give them a hope for
the future and a joy in the present.

KICK work in Infant, Primary, Secondary, Pupil Referral Units, Private and Special Schools to deliver the following
services with Christian values embedded throughout every session:

-

PE National Curriculum - Transformational Street Dance
Solutions Focused Mentoring - Schools based Chaplaincy

In all that we do we seek to live out our values to encourage young people to be aspirational, to be compassionate
in all circumstances, to deliver excellent quality sessions, and to be intentional in building relationships and sharing
the gospel with young people every day and to show integrity in our decision making at all times. KICK are
currently working with over 100 schools and have established 30 KICK Academies. Our staff team has more than
