What teamArchie does

teamArchie (The Archie Lloyd Charitable Foundation) is a UK-registered charitable foundation established in 2016 by James and Claire Lloyd in memory of their son Archie Lloyd, who died at age 18. The foundation funds mentoring and bursary programmes for young people aged approximately 5-25 whose background or lack of support is a barrier to realising their potential in sports, arts, music, creative writing, and sailing. Since founding, teamArchie reports having run 56 programmes and directly helped 1,710 beneficiaries, with a broader reach of 3,000+ through alumni now working in coaching and the charity sector.

The foundation operates a partnership-driven delivery model, working with 12+ established charities (Snow Camp, New Adventures, Greenhouse Sports, First Story, Future Talent, Clipper Ventures, Alsama, Seenaryo, Bradford City Girls, Football Beyond Borders, Future Talent, Youth Sport Trust International, SEJA, and Thriving Through Venture) that identify candidates and deliver programmes. teamArchie does not directly run the programmes; it provides funding, mentoring connections, and bursaries to enable young people to access partner-delivered opportunities. The organisation is governed by a board of trustees comprising the founding family and professional advisors, with a headcount of 1-10 employees.

Revenue is sourced entirely from donations: individual giving (one-off, regular, and Gift Aid-eligible), trust and foundation grants, corporate sponsorship (e.g., Hawksmoor Investment Management), and event fundraising (Christmas concerts at St George's Hanover Square, marathon and cycling challenges via Run for Charity, golf days, and garden tours). The foundation operates in the UK and through international partners in Lebanon, Jordan, and Brazil. There is no proprietary technology, no software product, and no in-house AI/ML capability.

Direct peers

• Greenhouse Sports: London charity using sport (table tennis, football, cricket) to improve life chances for young people. Comparable mission of combining sport access with mentoring and sustained engagement, and an active teamArchie partner.
• First Story: UK literacy charity placing professional writers in underserved schools. teamArchie funds First Story's summer residential, and both share the model of providing opportunities for talented young people from low-income backgrounds.
• New Adventures (Matthew Bourne): Dance company running emerging artist apprenticeships for young dancers from underrepresented backgrounds. teamArchie funds New Adventures' apprenticeship programme and the two share a focus on talent development for youth facing financial barriers.
• Seenaryo: Charity delivering theatre and play-based learning with refugee and marginalised communities in Lebanon and Jordan. teamArchie funds Seenaryo programmes and the two share a youth-focused model operating across the same Middle East geographies.
• Future Talent: UK music charity breaking financial and social barriers for gifted young musicians. Directly comparable given teamArchie's £2,000 brass award partnership with Future Talent and similar target demographic of talented young people lacking resources.
• Winston's Wish: UK charity supporting bereaved children and young people, founded in memory of a child (Winston). Comparable structure as a family-founded memorial charity providing support services and bursaries for vulnerable young people.
• Snow Camp: UK charity using snowsports to engage disadvantaged young people. Both organisations fund bursaries and apprenticeships for youth talent in skiing/snowboarding and rely on referral networks from other charities. Snow Camp is both a peer and an active partner of teamArchie.

Broad incumbents

• UK Youth: National membership body supporting youth organisations across the UK. Broader in scope but operates in the same youth development space, with comparable funding model combining grants, partnerships and fundraising events.
• The Prince's Trust: Large established UK youth charity offering mentoring, training and grants to disadvantaged 11-30 year olds. Far broader in scale and programmes than teamArchie but covers similar youth development and bursary/mentoring territory.

Emerging players

• Footwork Foundation (formerly Global Fund for Children UK partners): UK-based funder supporting grassroots youth organisations with small grants. Comparable model of providing flexible, multi-year bursaries to small charities working with disadvantaged young people, though Footwork focuses more on grantmaking than direct delivery.
