teamArchie Information

teamArchie is a charity which helps young people to make the most of their passions and talents in circumstances where their background or lack of support might be a barrier to being the best they can be. We work, often with partner charities or other organisations, to recognise talent and commitment and match it with programmes of funding, training, and mentoring, usually in sport, adventure, or the arts. The exact nature of the programme is less important than the lasting impact we and the young person believe it will have on them. Our goal is to ensure that personal circumstances are not a barrier to the fulfilment of potential. Archie was lucky enough to be born into a world full of opportunities and where his determination to be the best he could be was fully supported by family, friends, and teachers. Tragically he died aged 18, whilst travelling with friends, long before he had time to live up to the motivational mantras he loved. The charitable foundation set up in his memory aims to swing the pendulum of opportunity in favour of those who can show that they want to be the best that they can be, but who lack the support necessary to make it happen. We hope that they, like Archie, will go on to inspire and motivate those around them.
