Kinetic is an innovative charity that uses a unique community sport model which provides diversionary activities, education and opportunities to young people in the UK.
THE NEED
The UK has low levels of social mobility and high levels of youth unemployment. This is disproportionately affected by one’s social and demographic background.
OUR VISION
Young people's outcomes are not disproportionately affected by their social and demographic background.
OUR PURPOSE
Use football to engage young people and support them to complete Post-16 education whilst developing their social and emotional skills.
WHAT WE DO
Kinetic address the challenges above through a range of structured programmes through football. Our programmes are
- Kinetic Academy – Our Flagship programme for 16–19-year-old boys and girls, we provide all Kinetic Academy students FIFA qualified football coaching to develop their talent, a place in one of our partner schools plus additional employability and life skills support.
- Kinetic Community - Our free to attend weekly community coaching sessions for boys and girls, led by FIFA qualified coaches is open to any young person aged between 14-16 years old.
- Kinetic Holiday and Food Programme – Working with local authorities, we provide high quality football sessions from FIFA qualified coaches in school holidays for young people who are eligible for free school meals.
OUR OUTCOMES
We understand that while many young people dream of being a professional footballer, only a tiny percentage go on to achieve this goal. To ensure that we address the challenges outlined we deliver a range of personal development activities. Structured workshops, mentoring and the opportunity to meet with staff at our corporate partners means we:
- Increase in Aspirations
- Increase in Confidence
- Increase in Perseverance
- Increase in Wellbeing
- Complete post-16 education
