The Kids Network is a community of children and young professionals connecting through fun, friendship and hardship for positive social change.
The Kids Network supports children at a crucial time in their lives, in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school. We do this by providing them with a volunteer mentor, a local hero from their London community.
We exist because 50% mental health issues can be diagnosed before the age of 14. Way too early there is exam pressure, social media addiction, bullying, and gang grooming.
Children are stressed, depressed, anxious and angry and it affects the disadvantaged disproportionally.
The Kids Network focuses on the individual needs of the child, building confidence and resilience and developing the tools for a positive future. Mentors are trained to deliver child-led sessions, which help them overcome the challenges and complexities of their young lives.
Our programme has a proven impact with 93% of children reporting an increase in their wellbeing.
Now is the time to dream big, to step up and take action to support our little Londoners. Find our how you can get involved and support us today here.
