PepperMill Friends announces its support for Red Side Academy, an initiative linked to KV Kortrijk that welcomes over 400 children and young people free of charge every week in a safe, inclusive environment open to all.
A weekly commitment to over 400 young people
Every week, Red Side Academy brings together over 400 children and young people through sport. The organisation offers them a safe and welcoming environment, where taking part in sport also serves as a starting point for social interaction, building trust and promoting equal opportunities.
PepperMill Friends has announced its support for Red Side Academy. The company says it is proud to stand alongside this organisation, which it describes as remarkable for the impact it has on children and young people.
King Philippe’s visit shines a spotlight on the initiative
The recent visit by His Majesty King Philippe of Belgium to Red Side Academy has raised the organisation’s profile. According to PepperMill, this visit highlights the importance of initiatives of this kind and the impact they can have on the future of many young people.
The royal visit draws attention to a project that goes beyond the realm of sport to address broader issues: inclusion, social cohesion and equal access to opportunities.
Volunteers at the heart of the project
PepperMill also extends its congratulations to Younes and Youssef El Hadaj, the volunteers and everyone who devotes their time, energy and passion to Red Side Academy.
Red Side Academy is built on a spirit of collective effort. Its weekly activities with over 400 young people would not be possible without the regular involvement of those committed to the project.
PepperMill’s inclusion among the academy’s supporters reinforces this approach. It highlights a shared conviction: local initiatives can have a lasting impact when they combine commitment, volunteering, inclusion and support for young people.
