Proud sponsors of Katsuro Karate Club

We're delighted to announce that Out of Hours ICT is sponsoring Katsuro Karate Club in East Kilbride — helping keep karate completely free for every student.

The announcement

Keeping grassroots karate free

Katsuro Karate Club is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run traditional Shotokan karate club training twice a week at Mossneuk Community Hall in East Kilbride. Not one instructor or helper takes a penny — everything goes back into the karate.

As the club's 2025–26 season sponsor, our contribution covers hall hire, insurance and equipment. The result is something we're genuinely proud of: every class, for every student — children, teenagers and adults — is completely free. No fees, no barriers, no family priced out.

Why it matters

Businesses giving back to their communities

Local businesses are built on their communities — we think it's only right that some of what a community gives a business finds its way back.

Stronger communities

Grassroots clubs are where communities happen — but hall hire, insurance and kit are real costs usually passed on to families. A modest sponsorship for a business can be transformative for a club.

Healthier, happier kids

Sport gives children fitness, confidence, discipline and friendships that last a lifetime. When money is tight, activities are the first thing families cut — unless the activity is free.

Everyone benefits

Kids get sport with no price tag, volunteers get backing for the work they already do for free, and businesses invest in the place their staff and customers call home. Everybody wins.

Could your business do the same?

There's a grassroots club near you that a small sponsorship would transform. If you'd like to support Katsuro Karate Club — or want to chat about how community sponsorship works — we'd love to point you in the right direction.
