The Kids Network was founded in 2016 because of a huge need; the twinned problems of accelerated gentrification next to stark inequality of wealth and opportunity.
It supports children at a crucial time in their lives, in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school.
They do this by providing them with a volunteer mentor, a local hero from their London community.
They work with primary schools across London who refer children who may be facing additional challenges in their young lives and could benefit from a one to one mentoring relationship.
