The Nick Maughan Foundation, abbreviated as NMF, was established at the start of the pandemic in 2020 to further a range of philanthropic initiatives in education, the environment and civic support schemes for disenfranchised communities.[1][2]
Founded and funded by the British impact investor and philanthropist Nick Maughan CBE, NMF has three state aims: to narrow the educational attainment gap exacerbated by the pandemic, to combat the social problems of homelessness and knife crime in the UK, and to mitigate the effects of climate change by supporting progressive conservation and carbon sequestration schemes.[3][4]
Activities and initiatives
[edit]The Nick Maughan Foundation helps young people from families below the median-income level have the same opportunities as those from more fortunate backgrounds.[5][6][7]
NMF launched BoxWise[8] in 2020, founded by Nick Maughan and Rick Ogden.[9][10] With a 10-week boxing programme delivered by England Boxing coaches, BoxWise helps young people with their fitness and mental wellbeing while offering progression routes to help graduates enter further education or step into employment.[11][12]
