Our Purpose
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Social Welfare and Inclusivity: 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.
-
Upskilling 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 that encourage respect and cultivate a supportive environment for our service users.
Sustainability and Future Goals
Through continuous fundraising efforts, we aim to ensure the sustainability of our projects, uphold our commitments to the youth in our Academy, and maintain the provision of free classes to those eager to learn and develop new skills.
Review of the Year (24 October 2024 – 23 October 2025)
Over the course of this financial period, the Foundation continued to build on its work in Bridgwater and the wider Somerset community, with a particular focus on strengthening links with local schools, community leaders, and social service organisations.
The Foundation has been actively involved in building relationships with local schools, community leaders, and social service organisations to better understand the needs of the community. Through these partnerships, we have received valuable input and referrals regarding vulnerable children in deprived areas who would benefit from our programmes.
Our approach of offering free training at the gym has been well received by the community, and the high demand for our services is evident in the overwhelming response from children wanting to participate in our groups. This strong interest indicates a clear need for additional sessions to accommodate all the children who wish to be involved.
To ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of our programmes, we have continued to assess the needs of the community and adapt our services accordingly. By focusing on key areas such as healthy eating, mental health, substance misuse, and physical fitness, we have addressed critical issues faced by the children we serve, working to make a positive impact on their lives.
Through our collaborative efforts with various stakeholders and our commitment to meeting the needs of the community, we have established a solid foundation for our projects and activities in Bridgwater. The support and demand for our services reflect the community's recognition of the value of this work and their desire to see it continue and expand.
Looking Ahead
Building on the relationships formed this year with schools and community partners, the Foundation intends to widen the number of organisations it works alongside over the coming year, with the aim of reaching more children and families in need of support. Continued fundraising will remain central to this, ensuring the Foundation can sustain and grow its free provision while maintaining the standard of coaching and mentoring that underpins its work.
