Kids

Who we are

Kids is a national charity supporting disabled children and young people, and their families, from birth to age 25. For more than 50 years, we’ve been creating life-changing opportunities, breaking down barriers and championing the voices of children and young people.

When the world blocks children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, Kids speaks up to say, WE CAN!

Our culture and values

Celebrate Individuality

Over two million children and young people in the UK live with disabilities and special educational needs. All are brilliantly unique. We tailor our approach to the needs of every individual.

Think Creatively

Creativity is the ability to think up new ideas, combining expertise with imagination. We create life-changing opportunities for families by providing and inventing a wide range of services.

Work Together

Working together is about our willpower to make a positive difference. It is about putting kindness into action. Our determination to do our best for every family.

Speak Up

Speaking up isn’t about being negative. Far from it. It’s all about amplifying the voices of children and young people to achieve positive social change.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Kids, our foundation rests upon Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) driving every aspect of our workspace.

We recognise that a diverse and inclusive workforce isn't just beneficial; it's essential for fostering innovation and driving success. We actively seek out individuals who bring unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to the table. Whether through lived experiences of disability, varied professional backgrounds, or a blend of both, we celebrate the wealth of knowledge and insight these individuals offer.

We prioritise creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best.
