Help Kickz help Irish teens

Donation protected
Attention you beautiful generous people. Because I know like me you care about the youth I am offering an opportunity to help me fulfil my dream of starting my own business that helps solve social problems that young males in Ireland face today. Problems that I know all too well can have a devastating impact on the rest of their lives. Drug addiction and the crime and antisocial behaviour associated with is claiming more young victims in Ireland every year. The causes? Well firstly availability of drugs and secondly the lack of amenities. This is where Kickz comes in. Kickz delights and entertains individuals while honing their football skills with a variety of novel soccer based skill games including Soccer Pool, Foot Darts and Soccer Tennis. I aim to provide a genuine alternative (genuine because 99% of young lads love football) at the time when teens are most at risk, that is, Friday and Saturday nights. The majority of my income will come from Birthday parties, Stag parties and Corporate events leaving me enough to just charge teens a nominal fee to cover costs and provide a desperately needed service. So the problem of lack of amenities will be solved with the world's favourite pass time and while I can't do anything about availability of drugs directly no drugs will be available to the teens when they're off the streets and on my premises. I went to the bank with my idea, they said the idea was great, the business plan was great and the sales figures were probably low but they weren't willing to take the risk. My vision is to roll this out nationwide and beyond. I have received a government grant but can not draw it down until I can fund the business and the business has just been selected for Ireland's Social Entrepreneurs competition. Let me prove that this works and that young lads can be saved if they have a healthy way to get their KICKZ!
