Reclaiming Narratives

Here’s some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. The theme for this year’s Black History Month is ‘Reclaiming Narratives’, offering an opportunity to recognise and correct narratives of Black history and culture. When developing your design you could think about: Honouring Heroes, Embracing Stories, Empowering and Educating.

Why support Alive and Kicking?

Alive and Kicking is a network of impactful organisations that share the same purpose, mission and values. Together we use the lifecycle of a sports ball to grow and strengthen communities in Kenya, Zambia and the UK. Our balls are created to have a positive social impact in the way they are manufactured, distributed and used.

Since inception in 2004, we’ve had the following impact:
