My story

Kids Company is a charity founded in 1996 in order to provide practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people. We currently assist approximately 14,000 children with therapeutic and practical interventions, reaching the most deprived and traumatised whose parents struggle to care for them due to their own disturbing life experiences. Often the roles of child and parent are reversed and, despite profound love, both struggle to survive.

The children we reach not only negotiate challenges within the family home, they also face immense threats in their neighbourhoods. From the age of 8 – 9, many are pulled into drug couriering, and before their teens will experience chronic abuse and be exposed to relentless violence and sexual perversion. The vulnerability of our client group is captured in the following table based on our street level centres where 97% of the children self-refer. If a child selfrefers they will not have an adult or commissioning service behind them, so we do not receive funds for the services they use.


Thank you for donating to Kids Company.  Every penny you give helps us improve the lives of the children and young people we support.  www.kidsco.org.uk
