This August saw the anniversary of the loss of our much loved CEO of over 30 years, Marjolein De Vries, a local legend who worked tirelessly for people with learning disabilities and autism, their parents and siblings. Dedicated to her work she was an inspiration for many, and shortly after being diagnosed with cancer she passed away knowing she was loved, respected and had made a difference to our families and our community.

We have dedicated our 55th anniversary year to her.

Rise - you helped us run our summer activities

Thanks to all your generous donations we reached our £10,000 initial target which helped us run our summer activities this year. We believe that the year ahead, our 55th anniversary year, is FULL of hope and a fresh start for our charity. We are rising up from this sad and hard time to raise funds for Kith & Kids upcoming projects and services.

Shine - celebrate our 55th anniversary year by helping us raise £55,000

We now have new leadership in our CEO Nicole Francis and are looking forward aiming for a new children's project for those we support. We know we will thrive and become even more embedded in our local community, shining brightly by the end of the anniversary year. No one likes a celebration more than Kith & Kids and 55 years is worth celebrating! Right?

Your help now can make a big difference

The need for our work does not decline. Our small team of talented and dedicated staff and volunteers are pulling together now more than ever before, to deliver Kith & Kids’ important work come rain or shine;

Our Family Support and crisis services,

Our volunteer supported Social Development Projects and Weekend Clubs,

Our Employment and Life Skills training for adults,

Please donate and celebrate

We want to raise £55,000 for our 55th year from our wonderful community of supporters.

We’re asking you to help us now in honour of Marjolein, in celebration of our last 55 years of hard work, and to provide many more years of essential support for people with learning disabilities and autism.
