Choose the right route
Four meaningful ways to help
Support should be useful, appropriate and easy to understand. Begin with the route closest to your purpose; KCGA will help shape the details responsibly.
Why support KCGA?
Help strengthen what happens in the gym—and what reaches families beyond it
KCGA is an independent gymnastics academy built around small groups, attentive coaching and a science-informed approach to movement and health.
Appropriate support can extend that work without changing the professional care and judgement families already trust.
- Opportunity
Help suitable children participate when financial circumstances may otherwise be a barrier.
- Knowledge
Keep practical, evidence-informed gymnastics education freely available to families.
- Environment
Strengthen equipment, learning resources and carefully selected community activity.
- Continuity
Help KCGA invest in useful work that can support children and families over time.
Bursary support
Fund opportunity—not access to a child
Bursary support may help an appropriate child continue or begin gymnastics when financial circumstances create a barrier.
Depending on need, programme capacity and KCGA’s assessment, support may contribute towards:
- A suitable group-class place for an agreed period
- A block of individual lessons where appropriate
- Uniform or participation equipment
- Reasonable travel support in an appropriate case
Keep independent education accessible
Help free gymnastics resources reach more families
Researching, writing, recording, designing, hosting and preserving high-quality resources takes time. Suitable support can help KCGA continue offering most family-facing resources free of charge.
- Research and produce future magazine issues and parent guides
- Develop useful podcast, video and educational series
- Maintain free digital access and a lasting public archive
- Introduce trusted resources to more families and communities
Editorial independence is non-negotiable. Support does not determine topics, evidence, conclusions or recommendations. Appropriate recognition is transparent and agreed in advance.

What responsible support looks like at KCGA
The strongest partnerships create genuine value while protecting children, families and KCGA’s independent professional judgement.
Children come first
Every proposal is considered through the lens of children’s welfare, experience and long-term benefit.
Privacy and safeguarding
Support never provides access to children, family data or private academy information.
Independence remains
KCGA retains control of coaching, bursary, safeguarding, editorial and operational decisions.
Recognition is transparent
Any acknowledgement, branding or public communication is proportionate and agreed before work begins.

Discuss an equipment or in-kind offerSupport and partnership questions
Before beginning a conversation
Is KCGA a charity?
No. KCGA is an independent gymnastics academy, not a registered charity. Bursary support, sponsorship and partnership arrangements are agreed directly with KCGA and are not presented as charitable giving.
Can I sponsor a specific child?
No. For safeguarding, dignity and privacy reasons, KCGA manages bursary assessment and allocation confidentially. A supporter does not select, contact or receive personal information about a named child.
What could bursary support cover?
Depending on need, suitability and programme capacity, support may contribute towards an appropriate group-class place, a block of individual lessons, uniform, participation equipment or reasonable travel assistance. KCGA determines every arrangement case by case.
Can an organisation sponsor KCGA’s free resources?
Potentially. KCGA selectively welcomes suitable organisations that share its child-wellbeing and educational values. Editorial independence remains with KCGA, and appropriate recognition is transparent and agreed in advance. You can review the current public library on the Resources page.
Will a supporter be publicly acknowledged?
Where appropriate, KCGA may agree proportionate recognition on a relevant page, publication or event communication. Recognition is discussed in advance and does not imply editorial control, access to children or endorsement of unrelated activity.
Do you accept second-hand equipment?
KCGA may consider high-quality used equipment when it is relevant, safe and suitable. Please contact KCGA with details before arranging delivery. Every item must be reviewed and approved before it can be accepted or used.
How do I start?
Use the KCGA contact page and briefly describe who you are, the support route you are considering and what you hope it could achieve. This begins a conversation and creates no commitment for either party.
One useful conversation to begin
Could your support create meaningful value?
Tell KCGA what matters to you. Dr Stefan Kolimechkov and the Academy will consider whether there is a responsible, well-matched way to work together.
No automatic acceptance or commitment: KCGA reviews every proposal for fit, benefit, safeguarding, independence and practical need.
KCGA is an independent gymnastics academy and is not a registered charity. Support, sponsorship and partnership arrangements are considered case by case. Safeguarding, privacy, coaching judgement and editorial independence remain with KCGA.
