Celebrating the birthday of Ruth Faulkner, 28 November 2024
It’s the most magical time of the year, but not every child gets to feel that magic. For £35, give a child an entire month of mentoring and adventure to boost their resilience for the future.

Story

A few people have asked what I'm doing for my 35th birthday - often I'd go out in London, lovely friends might buy me drinks, coffee, cake, an occasional present. This year I'll be in Australia and likely just bumming about on the beach - so I'd like to redirect that love and friendship to a better place.

It's probably hoping for a lot, but for just £35 a Little Londoner who needs extra support can get an activity/ support with a mentor with TKN. For my 35th birthday could I extend this gift to 10 children?

My business Toucan Content, will match EVERY birthday gift donation made here.

Why The Kids Network:

I've been supporting TKN since this March, first with volunteer content/ comms and now as an ongoing advisor. Beautiful people with a beautiful purpose.

The Kids Network support children at a crucial time in their development by providing them with a volunteer mentor. They are child-led and have an early intervention focus - getting to children in need at a unique time in their lives, between 9-11 when there's a lot of transition happening.
