Throughout 2025 and 2026, the KUGB have been raising funds for Lupus UK. 

The charity supports individuals who have been affected by lupus, an autoimmune condition that affects the body’s vital organs.

The KUGB will be holding a Charity Week from 23rd-29th March, during which we encourage all clubs to get involved to help raise funds for Lupus UK, before the final total of the Charity Appeal is announced at the National AGM in May.

How could your club get involved with the Charity Appeal?

🥋  Sponsored events, such as challenges inside or outside the dojo

🥋  Charity courses with senior instructors

🥋  Donation boxes or buckets at your club

🥋  Easter raffles

🥋  Guess the name of the Karate bear/Easter bunny

🥋  Donating the proceeds from the week’s classes to the charity

You could also be creative and come up with your own ideas for fundraising!

We are excited to see our clubs come together and support a very worthwhile cause. For any questions about the Charity Appeal, or for the KUGB charity bank account details, please email charity@kugb.org .

Individual donations can also be made via our JustGiving page:

Let’s all make a difference during our Charity Week and show what can be done when the KUGB community works together!
