Young people today are facing an epidemic of poor mental health. 30% of children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are at risk of a serious mental health crisis.
The Kids Network was founded in 2016 to support London’s children with their mental health during the transition from primary to secondary school. Volunteer mentors provide weekly sessions that focus on each child’s individual needs, helping to build confidence and resilience as they navigate adolescence.
To date, we’ve provided The Kids Network with £325,000 in funding. Our development grants have focused on developing the charity’s marketing strategy, funding the creation of a promotional video and the salary for a part-time marketing officer.
We’ve also connected The Kids Network to further funding of £328,000 from other trusts and foundations in our network. Access to our network has also allowed The Kids Network to form partnerships with The Times, The Daily Mail, American Express and the London Zoo.
Our support has proved pivotal in establishing The Kids Network’s financial security, paving the way for the charitty to scale and reach even more young people across London.
