Who we are
The King’s Trust is a charity that operates throughout the UK to aid young people aged 11 to 30 to get into jobs, education and training. The King’s Trust is comprised of both a charity and a trading company. In this policy wherever you see the words ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’, it refers to both our charity and our trading company.
Our trading company is wholly owned and controlled by our charity. Any information we collect may be used by both our entities. Our trading company exists so that we can run our online shop, our Tomorrow's Store and enter into commercial agreements such as sponsorship.
Our charity is The King’s Trust, incorporated by Royal Charter (RC000772), with registered company number (1079675) in England and Wales and (SC041198) in Scotland. Our trading company is King’s Trust Trading Limited with registered company number (03161821). The principal office of both is The King’s Trust, South London Centre, 8 Glade Path, London, SE1 8EG.
Our agreement
By using the Platform you accept and agree to comply with these terms. The King’s Trust may amend these terms at any time by updating the text of this page, so please check back regularly.
Your privacy
These terms also refer to our Privacy Notice, which also applies to your use of the Platform.
The Platform
The Platform is made available free of charge, and we do not guarantee that our Platform will be secure, free from bugs or viruses, available or uninterrupted, or that information presented on our Platform is accurate, complete or up to date. We may update and change our Platform from time to time. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Platform for business and operational reasons.
The Platform can sync with your Fitbit, Garmin, or Map my Fitness app on your phone which counts your steps, via an application programming interface (API).
The Challenge
The Challenge takes place for 31 days and begins on 1 May 2026 and end on 31 May 2026.
You can either participate as an individual, or as part of a team (maximum 6 members per team).
If you are participating as an individual, the name that you registered with will appear on the individual leaderboard, which will also display your individual total steps and money raised.
If you are participating as part of a team, the team name that you create will appear on the team leaderboard, which will also display your team’s total number of steps and amount of money raised.
Appropriate participation
You must be aged 18 years or over to take part in the Challenge.
You will engage with the Challenge and the Platform in a manner which is appropriate and respectful in light of The King’s Trust’s role as a young persons’ charity, including but not limited to social media use and fundraising activity.
The King’s Trust reserves the right to terminate your participation in the Challenge and to remove all public affiliation with us if, in our reasonable opinion, continuing a relationship with you is likely to damage or otherwise adversely impact our good name, image, reputation, or intellectual property rights, or bring His Majesty King Charles III, or any other member(s) or employee(s) of the Royal Household or The King’s Trust into disrepute.
You will only participate in the Challenge if you are fit and healthy enough to safely do so. If you have injury or illness which means that you may not be able to take part safely, you should withdraw from the Challenge. This may mean asking your GP whether or not you should continue with the Challenge.
Fundraising
You shall comply with the terms of Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice (https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/code) in connection with the Challenge. You will not carry out any behaviour which would be considered unreasonable behaviour by the Fundraising Regulator.
Your fundraising activity will:
- be aimed at the public generally, and not targeted at specific individuals
- not include unsolicited phone calls
- not include further attempts to fundraise from an individual who has expressly asked not to receive requests of this kind
- not attempt to imply that any person has a moral obligation to support the Challenge
- comply with the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (https://www.asa.org.uk/codes-and-rulings/advertising-codes/non-broadcast-code.html)
You shall provide, as and when required, any information The King’s Trust reasonably requires to allow us to assess that you have complied with this clause.
Limitation of liability
The King’s Trust (and its group companies, officers, trustees, employees and agents) shall not be liable or responsible for any claim, loss, damage, costs and expenses of any nature (including without limitation for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whether resulting from breach of contract, negligence or any other cause of action) arising in connection with our Platform or your use of them (including, without limitation, for any viruses, bugs, trojan horses or other contamination resulting from use of our Platform, for any interruption or delays to the use of our Platform, or for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in any information presented on our Platform).
