Our Vision

Kiyan Prince was a talented young footballer who played for Queens Park Rangers and was tipped for the very top. In May 2006, at the age of 15, Kiyan stepped in to defend his friend who was being attacked outside his school by another young person. Kiyan was stabbed and died in front of his friends. 

Founded by Kiyan’s father and former professional boxing champion, Dr Mark Prince OBE, KPF uses sports and success coaching to focus on self (discovery, discipline and esteem) and to develop a “champions” mindset.

KPF empowers young people to make positive decisions and to become life champions, ready to lead, serve, and fight for the future they deserve.

And as an authentic voice advocating for young people, KPF uses the platform we have to undertake groundbreaking research and to call on policy makers to use their power of choice to best support young people and their futures.

Why This Matters

A major new report commissioned by the Kiyan Prince Foundation has found that a majority of young people in England worry they will be threatened with a knife (56%) or mugged in their local area (50%).

In addition, nearly a third of young people have personally witnessed youth crime and some 39% believe their home town has become less safe in the last two years.

These findings, from a national representative poll of more than 1,000 16-24-year-olds, is one of the headlines in ‘The Power of Choice’, a study which carried out extensive and wide-ranging polling and focus group research. The project aimed to give voice to those people most affected by youth crime; young people themselves. 

Data from the Office of National Statistics shows that knife-enabled crime recorded by the police in the year ending September 2023 increased by 5% (48,716 offences) compared with the year ending September 2022 (46,367 offences). Notable increases were seen in the number of robberies involving a knife or sharp instrument (up 19% compared with the previous year). 

This is not inevitable and the work undertaken by the Kiyan Prince Foundation and other organisations can and does make a difference.

Exciting news! The Kiyan Prince Foundation is dedicated to empowering young individuals through motivational talks focused on 'The Power of Choice'. These impactful discussions aim to steer participants away from antisocial behavior and serious youth violence by fostering self-esteem, ...self-confidence, and self-belief.

With a core principle of self-empowerment, these talks guide young people to recognize and unleash their untapped potential. Emphasizing the importance of respect and kindness towards others, the foundation lays the groundwork for positive societal interactions.

Moreover, the foundation addresses emotional and mental challenges by providing tools to heal emotional wounds, nurturing resilience, and breaking cycles of harm. It's not just about changing negative behaviors but also about fostering personal growth and positive community impact.

Have you heard of the Kiyan Prince Foundation's Future Champions programme? Students who have participated in the programme have shared their experiences and the impact it has had on their lives.

"Your environment shapes your mindset. If you have guidance in your life or someone ...like Mark then you will develop a mindset of being confident and achievement. But if you don’t have that then you fall victim to the environment."

"When he came to our school there was a lot of people in class that might get involved in crime, like I knew a lot of these boys that would want to carry knives and that. And when Mark was speaking to them, I did see a change in them. So yeah, I think it was really beneficial to them."

"I’ve been able to go out and use it in my everyday life. Like my self-confidence has improved since walking to him, I’m more physically active. I’ve been doing a lot more since I’ve had his sessions."

Following the horrific events in Hainault today, all at KPF send heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the 14 year old boy who has been killed💔and to all those impacted.

Feel more positive about their future.
