Kids Company is a registered charity (number 1068298) founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh in December 1996 in order to provide practical and emotional support to 'lone children'

These are children and young people who experience significant psychosocial difficulties because their parent is unable to function as a caring adult. The lack of a functioning adult has a negative impact on their ability to access education, health, housing, and meaningful employment. These children love their parents but live with worry for their well-being. Often the role of child and parent is reversed and the child is left surviving their experience of childhood alone.

The organisation is advanced in its service delivery because it has a multidisciplinary team working at street level, adapting the latest neurophysiological thinking in order to deliver a preventative and reparative therapeutic service to children. It currently supports 11,925 clients, of whom 800 are parents and teachers.

Kids Company has been independently evaluated fifteen times since 2000. All the evaluations describe the clinical service delivery by Kids Company as being outstanding.
Our services are delivered through three key channels: in 33 schools across London, a children's centre in South London, 'The Arches II' and a post-14 educational site, 'The Urban Academy'.

The Children's Trust is a national charity which provides care, education and therapy to children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs to children from across the UK. Each year over 3000 children in the UK suffer brain damage following illness or accident

The damage may have devastating consequences leaving children unable to walk, talk, swallow or even breathe unaided. The Children's Trust provides intensive rehabilitation enabling children to recover lost skills and find strategies to cope and are currently raising money for a new brain injury rehabilitation centre. Our new Centre will be a wonderful purpose designed environment where these brave children from all over the UK, can come to receive round the clock medical care and therapy, and still enjoy space to play and be with their families. |The new centre will help us help even more children get back on their feet.
