Ten precious days
Behind Believe Achieve CIC is a deeply personal story of love, heartbreak and hope.
On 8 April 2019, our founder, Tunde Olasupo, welcomed his precious baby boy, Kingsley Prince Olasupo, into the world.
What should have been the beginning of a lifetime of beautiful memories became an unimaginable tragedy. Just ten days later, on 18 April 2019, Kingsley sadly passed away following what his family believe were failures in his care at Royal Bolton Hospital.
Kingsley never had the chance to take his first steps, attend school, make friends, play football or discover his dreams.
No parent should have to say goodbye to their child before life has truly begun.
From heartbreak to purpose
Out of this devastating loss came a powerful determination to create something meaningful in Kingsley’s memory.
Believe Achieve CIC was founded to give children and young people the love, opportunities, encouragement and experiences that Kingsley never had the chance to enjoy.
Today, through youth work, mentoring, education, sports, creative activities, wellbeing support and community programmes, we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of children, young people and families.
A promise carried forward
Every young person who walks through our doors matters. Every achievement, every smile and every life we help change carries a little piece of Kingsley’s legacy.
Our centre is more than a community organisation. It is a father’s promise that his son’s short life will never be forgotten.
“A life that Kingsley will never have.”
Forever loved, forever remembered
Kingsley Prince Olasupo may have spent only ten days in this world, but his memory continues to inspire opportunities, hope and brighter futures for others.
Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever our inspiration.
