Supporting Families – removing barriers to Getting Children Active
As a not-for-profit, our vision is for A World Where Children Love Being Active. The Supporting Families Programme benefits the lives of children and families through sport and activity by providing subsidised places at our activity camps. The subsidised places benefit individual families, organisations and charities and military families. Our Supporting Families programmes mainly impact children and families in the UK but can also cover International projects.
- 636 children impacted (in the last 3 years)
- 480 families supported (in the last 3 years)
- 1070 weeks subsidised (in the last 3 years)

Who we support
We offer subsidised places to families, charities and organisations, enabling and encouraging children to enjoy sport and activity in the school holidays, which, without our support, they may not otherwise have access to…
-
Subsidised places for families in difficult circumstances, including terminal illness, bereavement, financial hardship, fleeing domestic abuse and violence and other challenging family circumstances.
-
Subsidised places for organisations and charities providing places to the families supported by organisations including Barnardo’s, Mums in Need and Time Matters.
-
Subsidised places for Military families operating camps on military bases and offering places within our non-military camps.
You may wonder what this means – and specifically what it means for you?
As a not-for-profit, all of our income is generated from our activity camps – Kings Camps and this is used towards all the typical operating costs you’d expect, including recruiting the best people, operating at fantastic venues and purchasing equipment to give the very best on-camp experience for children.
This allows us to reinvest a significant portion of our camp income into our Supporting Families programme, helping more families in need to access Kings Camps activity camps.
If you’d like to contribute to our Supporting Families programme, your donation will enable us to reach more families and children who can gain from the benefits sports and activity bring to their health and wellbeing.
There is no commitment to monthly payments – this is a one-off donation.
Gift Aid it!
Donating through Gift Aid means we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give (from UK tax payers), at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is make a Gift Aid declaration.
