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.
