The KO Club Trust UK, what can I say. I am continually moved by the kindness and dedication of the incredible people who run this trust. My commitment to the Trust knows no bounds, and I am honoured to contribute to its mission. It holds a special place in my heart as my son founded the Ko Club Trust UK & made it from nothing, and got these lovely people on board.

Simone Taylor
Trust Treasurer
"My responsibilities within the trust include presenting detailed financial reports to the board, ensuring they have a comprehensive understanding of the charity’s financial position at all times, and meticulously recording the minutes of all meetings. I also liaise with the trust's accounting team to maintain up-to-date records of all income and expenditures, fostering financial transparency and accountability.
Originally from Ireland, I relocated to England many years ago and have built a life here with my son and daughter. Sports play a significant role in our family. My son continues to play football for a local team, and his passion for the sport has brought not only physical fitness but also a strong sense of teamwork and community involvement. I take immense pride in supporting his dedication to the game, and it’s inspiring to see how sports can shape character and bring people together.
My daughter is actively involved in the KO Club Youth Collective, which focuses on empowerment and inclusivity for young people. The club’s ethos aligns closely with the values we uphold as a family. It’s wonderful to see her growing through this involvement, learning valuable life skills and contributing to the community meaningfully."
