Kids' City is a London based educational and training charity providing out of school activities to children aged 4 -11 years, activity schemes for teenagers aged 14-19 years, as well as volunteering, employment and training opportunities for adults living in areas of high unemployment.

OUR AIMS

To advance the education of school age children through providing recreational and educational activities out of school hours and in school holidays so to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved

KIDS' CITY MISSION STATEMENT

Harness the skills, values and energy of the local community.
Provide inclusive educational recreational and play opportunities for 4-11 year olds.
Provide safe recreational and development opportunities for 12-15 year olds.
Disseminate good practice through the provision of training and consultancy services.

THE AREA WHERE KIDS' CITY WORKS

We have schemes based in Lambeth and Wandsworth. The Index of Deprivation 2000 shows areas in which Kids' City operates include wards ranked amongst the 10% most deprived in the country.

WHO WORKS FOR KIDS' CITY

We employ approximately 80 staff, 8 full time and the remainder part time and utilise over 100 volunteers. All our staff have recent current police checks, and centre staff are all trained and qualified in play work.

All staff and volunteers have access to the fully accredited training programmes.

HOW IS KIDS' CITY FINANCED

We charge fees for attendance, but these only make up less than half the cost of running each sheme - keeping the price affordable to families, providing subsidised places and free places for those who need them. The rest of the funds we need to keep things running come from modest grants from local authorities, and a constant fundraising effort to gain support from charitable trusts and the like.

You can help too. We accept donations from our supporters on line - click below to donate
