Hull FC Community Foundation is delighted to announce Kinetic Laboratories Ltd as the Foundation’s Official Principal Partner for 2027 in a landmark partnership that represents an exciting new chapter for the charity’s continued growth and development.
Having already established a strong relationship as partners of the Hull FC Foundation Annual Awards Evening and supporters of the Foundation’s community work, Kinetic Laboratories Ltd have further strengthened their commitment by becoming the Foundation’s Principal Partner heading into 2027.
The partnership marks a significant step forward for Hull FC Community Foundation as it prepares to launch a new framework delivery plan designed to increase its impact across Hull and the wider region. Alongside supporting the Foundation’s extensive programme delivery throughout 2027, Kinetic Laboratories will play a key role in helping build and strengthen relationships with businesses across Hull and the surrounding areas, creating new opportunities for collaboration, investment and community engagement.
Through the partnership, both organisations share a commitment to improving lives, creating opportunities and supporting communities throughout the city. With the Foundation continuing to expand its reach across programmes supporting young people, families, veterans, older adults and individuals facing health and social challenges, the support of Kinetic will help further strengthen and develop these vital services in the years ahead.
Beverley Hird, Director at Kinetic Laboratories Ltd, said:
“Being able to give something back to the community in which we live, and work is one of the real privileges of running a successful local business, and that is what makes this partnership so important to us.
What really struck us about Hull FC Community Foundation is the breadth of the work it delivers. Rugby may bring people together, but the impact reaches far beyond the game. From young people and families to veterans, people living with Parkinson’s, those affected by cancer, care home residents and participants within the Foundation’s inclusive sports programmes, it creates opportunities, connections and, importantly, safe and welcoming places for people within our community.
Hull is our home. It is where Kinetic has grown, where many of our team and their families live, and where we have built our business. We therefore feel a responsibility to invest back into the area and the people who have supported that success.
We’re incredibly proud to become Principal Partner of Hull FC Community Foundation for 2027. For us, this isn’t simply about putting the Kinetic name alongside the Foundation; it’s about supporting the people behind it and helping them continue the incredible work they are already doing across our city.
One of the things we particularly love is that community has no team colours. Whether a family is red and white, black and white, or has no interest in rugby league at all, the Foundation is there to support people. That is something we are very proud to stand behind.”
Hull FC Foundation Manager, Sam French, added:
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Kinetic Laboratories as our Principal Partner for 2027. Over the past few years, they have shown a genuine commitment to supporting our work and understanding the positive impact our programmes have across Hull and the East Riding.
This partnership represents much more than sponsorship. It provides a platform for us to continue growing our programmes, expanding our reach and creating even more opportunities for the people and communities we support every day. As we move into a new strategic framework for 2027 and beyond, having a partner that shares our values and vision gives us an exciting opportunity to strengthen our delivery and develop new initiatives that will make a lasting difference.
Kinetic’s extensive business network and strong reputation within the local community will also help us engage with new partners who want to invest in improving lives across Hull. Together, we are looking forward to building on our success and ensuring that even more people can benefit from the opportunities, support and experiences that Hull FC Community Foundation provides.”
As Hull FC Community Foundation looks ahead to an ambitious and exciting future, the partnership with Kinetic Laboratories provides a strong foundation for continued growth, wider community impact and the delivery of life-changing opportunities for people of all ages across the city and beyond.
Everyone at Hull FC Community Foundation would like to thank Beverley and the team at Kinetic Laboratories Ltd for their continued support and look forward to working together throughout 2027 and beyond.
