Kids Inspire

Kids Inspire is a children’s mental health charity offering free trauma support to families who otherwise couldn’t afford it. They provide personalised recovery plans through individual and group sessions, ensuring every child gets the help they need to thrive.

We have funded Kids Inspire multiple times since their founding in 2007, supporting the charity in delivering proactive intervention and support strategies for mental health problems. Their programme helps children, young people, and their families overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.

Kids Inspire also promotes early recognition of mental health concerns through workshops, training, events, and resources for schools and community groups, encouraging early access to support.

Their support programs build resilience and coping skills in children and young people through trauma-informed creative therapies and mentoring services. By involving parents, caregivers, and key stakeholders, Kids Inspire ensures comprehensive support, fostering long-term resilience and positive relationships within the community.
