LONDON / AGILITYPR.NEWS / April 22, 2026 / March, 2026 The Kate and Justin Rose Foundation has made a strong start to 2026, reinforcing its commitment to increasing access to golf through a focused programme of support across two key initiatives — Dryvebox and EDGA Project 250.
Both programs are entering significant phases of delivery, with activity expanding across schools, communities and regional networks throughout the UK.
At a time when access to inclusive and community sport remains an important focus across the UK, and with growing recognition of the role sport can play in supporting confidence, wellbeing and social development, the Foundation’s approach is centred on backing programmes that are already delivering meaningful impact both on and off the course.
Speaking on behalf of the Foundation, Kate Rose, Chair said:
“We believe in the power of sport to create opportunity, build confidence and open doors.
Through the programmes we support, we are focused on making golf more accessible, particularly for young people who may not otherwise have the chance to experience it.
It’s important to us that this work is not just about introduction, but about creating meaningful pathways into the game.”
Through its support of Dryvebox, the Foundation is helping to bring golf directly into school environments via a fully delivered model, removing traditional barriers to entry and introducing young people to the game in an accessible and engaging way.
Alongside this, EDGA Project 250 is expanding its reach across multiple UK regions, delivering structured, inclusive programmes that support young people with disabilities and additional needs, while creating clear pathways into community golf.
“EDGA is proud to work alongside the Foundation to expand access to golf for young people with disabilities and additional needs said Mark Taylor, EDGA Head of Instruction and Education.
Programmes like Project 250 are designed to create meaningful, inclusive opportunities while building confidence and long-term engagement with the game.”
Together, these initiatives reflect a joined-up approach, from first introduction to the game through to ongoing engagement, helping to remove barriers and create more accessible entry points into golf.
The Foundation’s role is to support and enable delivery, working alongside trusted partners to ensure programmes are impactful, sustainable and aligned with its long-term vision for inclusive participation.
As activity continues to expand, the focus remains on supporting initiatives that combine accessibility, enjoyment and progression, helping more young people engage with the game in a way that works for them.
