Kings Active Foundation has partnered with Mums In Need, a charity that supports women who have left abusive relationships, to subsidise 90% of the cost of a week’s sports camp for 20 families.
Case co-ordinator at Mums In Need, Nicola Rickwood, 40, said some of the women that come to the charity have suffered economic abuse and been left in debt by their ex-partners, so would not be able to afford this otherwise.
She said: “The women we’re supporting, we want them to thrive.
Their goal is to have 3.5% of their UK camp places funded through the program and they are also trying to provide around 10,000 children a year with free activity sessions in schools across the country.
