Support KCGA

At Kensington & Chelsea Gymnastics Academy, we believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence and lifelong benefits of gymnastics.

As an independent, boutique academy serving Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge, we are proud to provide small classes, exceptional coach-to-child ratios and a science-based approach to movement and health.

We occasionally welcome support from local families, businesses and community partners who share our values and would like to help us enhance children’s experiences, create bursary places and continue building a stronger, healthier local community.

Why Support KCGA?

KCGA was created to offer something different: a warm, premium and highly personalised gymnastics experience for children and families in London.

Unlike larger clubs, we keep our groups very small, with a maximum of 8 children and a coach-to-child ratio of 1:4. Our classes are carefully designed to help children build confidence, coordination, strength, resilience and a love of movement.

Your support helps us:

  • Create bursary places for children who may not otherwise have access to gymnastics
  • Invest in high-quality equipment and learning resources
  • Improve our venues and class environment
  • Support local community events and workshops
  • Continue delivering an exceptional experience across Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge

Every contribution, partnership or introduction can make a meaningful difference.

Your support can also help KCGA continue publishing the Kensington Gymnastics Magazine free of charge. Our magazine shares science-based articles, health advice, movement education and practical guidance for local families, helping more parents and children benefit from trusted information on gymnastics, wellbeing and healthy lifestyles.

By supporting KCGA, you help us ensure that this valuable educational resource remains freely available to families across Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge.

Sponsor a Child’s Gymnastics Journey

One of the most valuable ways to support KCGA is by helping to fund a bursary place.

We believe that gymnastics should be accessible to children with talent, enthusiasm and potential, regardless of financial circumstances.

Through the KCGA Bursary Programme, local families, businesses and supporters may choose to sponsor:

  • A child’s place for a full term
  • A block of private lessons
  • Uniform, equipment or travel support where appropriate

A bursary can help a child develop not only physical skills, but also confidence, discipline, friendships and a lifelong positive relationship with health and movement.

Who Might Like to Sponsor?

We would particularly love to hear from:

  • Local businesses in Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Westminster
  • Family offices and local philanthropists
  • Independent schools and nurseries
  • Health, wellbeing and physiotherapy clinics
  • Parents or former families who would like to give back

Sponsors become part of something meaningful: helping local children thrive through movement, confidence and opportunity.

Local Business & Community Partnerships

KCGA is always open to conversations with carefully selected local businesses and organisations that share our values.

We are particularly interested in partnerships that support children’s health, wellbeing, education and physical activity.

Examples may include:

  • Sponsorship of a bursary place or programme
  • Support for a community event or workshop
  • Collaboration with schools, nurseries or local organisations
  • Photography, videography or design support
  • Wellness partnerships with health professionals and clinics

We believe the strongest partnerships are built on shared values, long-term relationships and a genuine commitment to supporting children and families.

Equipment & Resource Donations

We occasionally welcome donations of high-quality equipment and resources that can help enhance the children’s experience.

Examples may include:

  • Gymnastics mats
  • Preschool soft play equipment
  • Balance beams and low apparatus
  • Children’s fitness and coordination equipment
  • Storage units or practical studio furniture

If you have suitable items you believe may be useful, we would be delighted to hear from you before any donation is arranged.

Please note that, for safety and safeguarding reasons, all equipment must meet our standards and be approved before use.

Supporting the Future of Children’s Health

At KCGA, we see gymnastics as far more than a weekly activity.

It is a foundation for healthier, happier and more confident children.

Through our science-based approach, children develop:

  • Better coordination and movement skills
  • Strength, flexibility and physical confidence
  • Focus, resilience and self-belief
  • Healthy habits that can last a lifetime

By supporting KCGA, you are helping us continue this mission across Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge, while creating more opportunities for children and families to benefit from high-quality gymnastics.
