Sport
We found and fund youth sport programmes for young people at risk of exclusion, violence and homelessness. BoxWise in the UK and the Bahamas Boxing Academy in Nassau are among our projects.
BoxWise
BoxWise began in 2020 in a single gym in Brixton, South London. Childhood friends Nick Maughan and Rick Ogden founded it, and NMF met its costs alone in the early years. It now works in towns and cities across England and Wales, and abroad from Uganda to Brazil. It has since built a broad and sustainable base of generous donors, including a gift of one million pounds from the boxing promoter Frank Warren.
Bahamas Boxing Academy
The Bahamas Boxing Academy on Celery Drive, Nassau, is a national youth boxing and community centre. It was established at the request of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas, the Hon. Philip Davis KC. Nick Maughan founded the Academy and chairs its board of trustees. He funded its new buildings in full and oversaw the rebuilding of the site personally, and the Prime Minister opened them in 2026.
The Bahamas-UK Sports Academy
Two Commonwealth realms, one sporting partnership. The Bahamas-UK Sports Academy was incorporated in Nassau in October 2026, after extensive planning between the British High Commission, the Office of the Governor-General, the Office of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas and the Nick Maughan Family Foundation.
Coach Core
Coach Core Foundation is a national charity that trains young people from disadvantaged backgrounds as sports coaches and helps them into paid work. It was established by the Royal Foundation in 2012.
RugbyWorks
Dallaglio RugbyWorks works with teenagers who have been excluded from school or are at risk of it. It uses rugby to build trusted relationships with adults, then works on life skills, aspiration, physical health and mental wellbeing. It helps young people into education, training and work after school.
Charlie Miller Football Academy
The former Rangers player Charlie Miller set up his academy to develop young footballers in Scotland and to bring in children from disadvantaged backgrounds. NMF funding has paid for equipment, fees and insurance so that more children can take part.
Pillar
Education
We fund bursaries, build schools and support research that widens opportunity for young people.
The NMF ICT Centre
In Mbale, Eastern Uganda, few children go on to secondary school. With Spotlight on Africa, NMF has built two IT training centres that give technical training to local people, along with school facilities and schools in the Namatala slum.
Putney High School
NMF believes that able children should not be shut out of an excellent education because their families cannot pay. Since 2020 it has funded full bursaries for girls from low-income families at Putney High School in South West London.
AI Simplified Series
The AI Simplified Series is a range of educational infographics designed by Nick Maughan to be used as teaching tools in schools and other learning environments.
Pillar
Communities
We serve the communities we can most benefit: young people facing homelessness and violence in the UK, and mothers and newborns in Eastern Uganda.
Centrepoint
Centrepoint is the UK's leading youth homelessness charity. The Prince of Wales is its Patron and BoxWise runs its programme inside Centrepoint services around the country.
StreetDoctors
StreetDoctors is an award-winning national charity which trains over 20,000 young people affected by violence each year, in the physical and psychological consequences of street violence, and develops their confidence and willingness to protect themselves and others. All the training is delivered in partnership with a range of youth organisations, and we believe in supporting a multi-agency approach to address community challenges which brings together partners' unique strengths and skills.
Centre for Social Justice
The Centre for Social Justice is an independent think tank that develops policy to tackle the root causes of poverty in the UK. Nick Maughan is a trustee of the CSJ Foundation, its charitable arm, where he is closely involved in every part of its work alongside the senior team.
The Nick Maughan Maternity Centre
Life in Mbale, Eastern Uganda, is hard, and clinics are scarce. With Spotlight on Africa, NMF has built and fully funds the Nick Maughan Maternity Centre, where every part of a mother's care is free. Nick Maughan is a regular visitor to Mbale, where he oversees the work in person.
Berkshire Youth Trust
For generations Berkshire Youth Trust has run clubs and projects that help young people in Berkshire make the move into adult life.
Womb Transplant UK
Womb Transplant UK has spent decades developing transplantation for women born without a womb or who have lost one. NMF has supported the work for many years, and Nick Maughan is a patron of the charity.
Pillar
Environment
We support wildlife conservation across Africa and coral restoration in the Caribbean.
Tusk
Tusk funds conservation across Africa by backing effective local organisations. The Prince of Wales is its Royal Patron. Nick Maughan has been one of Tusk's most committed supporters for many years, and a trustee since 2021.
Make My Money Matter
Make My Money Matter was a campaign co-founded in 2019 by the film writer and director Richard Curtis and Jo Corlett. It pressed banks and pension funds to invest in line with climate goals. The campaign closed in 2024.
