Charlie's business journey began with the establishment of uSports with a clear philosophy: to provide as many children as possible with positive experiences through sport. This passion has since expanded, recognising the need to support children's development beyond sport. When Charlie became a father, he saw first-hand the challenges working parents face and the need for practical, high-quality childcare solutions. This personal insight, combined with his enduring commitment to children's well-being, was the driving force behind the creation of uKids. His vision is to broaden the uGroup's positive impact, ensuring more children have an enriching and positive experience throughout their childhood, while offering essential support to families.
