We aim to provide, with like-minded organisations, opportunities for disadvantaged young people in the UK to experience the life-time rewards of golf as a sport.
Initiatives
EDGA: Project 250
In partnership with EDGA, Project 250 introduces 250 children and young adults with disabilities to golf. Launching in Coventry, the pilot promotes inclusivity through tailored coaching, led by Johnny Reay and Leah Roelich from EDGA. Supported by K&JRF funding, the programme progresses from community-based sessions to club integration, paving the way for a national rollout.
Sport for All UK: Koalaa Golf Tool
In partnership with Sport for All UK Foundation CIO, K&JRF is introducing golf to children with upper body limb differences across the UK. The programme provides access to free Koalaa prosthetics and adaptive golf tools, along with expert coach education. With nine “Try Golf” days and ongoing golf sessions, it empowers over 100 children annually, fostering confidence, inclusion, and access to the game of golf.
Kendleshire Kids Foundation
K&JRF and the Kendleshire Kids Foundation are using golf to support vulnerable young people in South Gloucestershire and Bristol who have experienced trauma in their formative years and continue to live in chaotic circumstances. Through mentorship, life skills training, and a trauma-responsive approach, the programme builds resilience and improves aspirations to facilitate positive outcomes. With K&JRF funding from 2025, it aims to expand, engaging many more young people in the programme.
Essendon 24: Knightsfield School
K&JRF and Essendon Country Club are bringing golf to hearing-impaired students from Knightsfield School. Starting with 24 participants, the programme offers tailored coaching, on-course experiences, and inclusive support. With K&JRF funding for 2025, it aims to expand, fostering a welcoming golf community for more students.
