- Comprehensive training and support

Whether you're a student, professional or retiree, your life experiences and empathy can help shape a brighter future for a Little Londoner.

EARLY INTERVENTION MENTORING
The Kids Network pairs Little Londoners aged 8-11 with a volunteer mentor at a crucial time in their lives: the transition period from primary into secondary school.

We’re very proud to report that 100% of the children who are part of this innovative early-intervention programme increased their wellbeing and 99% said they developed tools that would help them in their lives.

Every child deserves a happy childhood and positive future

We are child-led. Our programme is built around the individual needs of the child, with mentors trained to deliver sessions to help them overcome the challenges and complexities of their young lives.

Our volunteer mentors provide a balance of fun and stability for our Little Londoners, allowing them to explore their identity and express themselves in a safe environment.

The Kids Network started in 2017 to address a critical gap in early-intervention mental health support for Little Londoners.

Sadly, this challenge hasn’t gone away and we are now facing a greater crisis than ever before.
