Leicester City Football Club and King Power have reinforced their partnership with the University of Leicester through a fresh agreement to enhance collaborative efforts in Thailand. The expanded cooperation focuses on child health, education, and professional development, aiming to drive impactful change in both Leicester and Thailand.
A major element of the partnership is the extension of the Leicester City Football Club Professorship in Child Health, which has been a key resource since its establishment in 2018. The role will now support projects related to gestational diabetes and environmental health in Thailand, alongside ongoing research into the health of pre-term babies.
The agreement also includes the launch of two new scholarships: one for disadvantaged students in Leicester and another for Thai students to study at the University of Leicester. These scholarships will provide much-needed financial support to help young people overcome barriers to higher education. Additionally, the University will offer professional development programmes to King Power executives, strengthening the ties between the two organisations.
This partnership underscores a shared commitment to education, health improvement, and the creation of lasting opportunities for individuals in both regions.
