Our work
Our pillars
NMF was set up to widen opportunity for young people. Its work falls under four pillars.
Pillar one
Sport
Sport reaches young people that schools and services often miss. NMF founds and funds sport programmes that give them a safe place, trusted adults and a route into education, training and work. BoxWise in the UK and the Bahamas Boxing Academy in Nassau are the largest. Both work hand in hand with police, social services, schools and housing charities to reach the young people most at risk.

Pillar two
Education
NMF funds full bursaries for able children from low-income families, builds schools and sponsors research that widens opportunity.

Pillar three
Communities
NMF serves the communities it can most benefit. In the UK it supports Centrepoint, the leading youth homelessness charity, StreetDoctors, which teaches young people how to save a life after a stabbing, and Berkshire Youth Trust. In Eastern Uganda it has built and fully funds the Nick Maughan Maternity Centre, where every part of a mother's care is free.
