Kind-Hearted Ken 1945 – 2026

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Founder, Kenneth Townsley, who passed away peacefully on the 24^th of January 2026.

A remarkable entrepreneur, philanthropist and visionary, whose life and work have had a profound and lasting impact on the lives of thousands of children and young people.

Ken was a self-made man, but he was also a man of great humility, compassion and purpose. He believed strongly in using his success to benefit others and was content to work quietly in doing so.

His legacy will live on through the countless lives changed as a result of his extraordinary generosity.
