The Kids Network believes that every child deserves a happy childhood and a positive future.
Our mission is to create meaningful connections in our communities, supporting children through mentoring. Through partnerships with primary schools, we reach vulnerable children aged 8-11 at a crucial time in their lives – in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school. We match children with their own volunteer mentor, a hero from the local community, to spend one year together, meeting once a week one on one, having up to 100 hours of sessions in the community. Our programme provides children with consistent, tailored support for those who are often unable to access the support they need at school, at home or from other services and is proven to prevent those with complex needs reaching crisis.
