The Black Prince Trust has developed into a thriving hub for basketball over the last decade. We have experienced significant growth and formed partnerships with some of the biggest brands in the sport from Nike and Jordan to NBA Europe and London Lions. Our commitment to the local community includes providing free court access and coaching for both children and adults, creating a safe space at one of London’s finest basketball facilities. In the current economic climate we see first-hand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on people in our local community, making these partnerships and the services the enable us to provide more important and impactful than ever.
The Regal Basketball Court
June 2012, as part of world Basketball festival the Nike brand supported The Black Prince trust by investing in the creation of our iconic flagship Regal Court and have since supported with significant funding for community programmes and coach education for community users, many of whom have secured paid employment both at BPT and in the wider basketball community.
We have since refurbished and revamped the court through support from our partners. On top of further investment from Nike and Jordan, we received overwhelming support from our community through a Crowdfunder in November 2022, matched with generous donations from Sport England, Lambeth Council and Basketball England, while Dynamik Sports Floors have supported BPT with cost-effective installations and maintenance.
