Our Board of Directors
COACH is governed by a committed and experienced Board of Directors who volunteer their time to ensure our organisation remains accountable, well-run, and true to its mission.
The COACH Board of Directors is drawn from the Anglican Diocese of Johannesburg and the broader professional community. Our board members bring expertise in governance, finance, law, social development, and community leadership — providing strategic oversight and accountability for everything we do.
COACH is registered as a non-profit organisation (NPO: 052-658) and holds Public Benefit Organisation status (PBO: 930 024 064). Our board ensures full compliance with all relevant legislation and that COACH’s resources are used effectively in service of the children in our care.
Kenneth Fick
Managing Director
Kenneth Fick brings over 25 years of senior management experience to his role as Managing Director of COACH, having served in a range of leadership positions at the Department of Labour, including 16 years as Provincial Director for Gauteng.
He holds certificates in project management, financial management, and marketing, and is a committed advocate for ethical governance, sound financial stewardship, and empowering people to reach their full potential.
Kenneth served as Chairperson of the COACH Board for five years before being appointed Managing Director in November 2025. In this role, he is deeply committed to ensuring that the homes and programmes under COACH’s care remain compliant, well-resourced, and genuinely nurturing environments for every child.
For Kenneth, this work is personal. He believes that the development, safety, and wellbeing of the children in COACH’s care is not simply an organisational responsibility but a calling. He continues to grow alongside the children and staff he serves, and remains focused on making a meaningful and lasting difference in their lives.
