Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking the Firewalk Challenge in Chelmsford on Wednesday 23rd March, to raise money for this excellent local charity.  

Please come along to support me if you can, cheering is very welcome! 

Kids Inspire helps to heal the wounds of trauma and to reconnect young people with both themselves and society. This increases feelings of self-worth and prevents individuals from self-harming, joining gangs or becoming involved in crime.

This takes time, patience and commitment. But, by taking an inclusive approach, Kids Inspire turns lives around and in turn, positively influences society.

The children supported by Kids Inspire vary widely – some have suffered trauma, neglect or abuse and as a direct result, may feel disconnected from society. Behaviour that challenges teachers means these children are often labeled, neglected and are either not in education or are at risk of exclusion.

Our team members have between them many decades of combined professional experience in providing family therapy, mental health services, arts therapies, psychotherapy and therapeutic social work to complex families. We also have volunteers with a huge variety of experience and skills.
Our work in schools helps to identify and address vulnerabilities in children, which might otherwise have gone undetected. By reducing these and other emotional barriers to learning we help to re-engage children with academic tasks.

Our intervention helps to prevent children from disrupting classes and being excluded from school. We help children thrive and to develop a joy of learning. Our aim is for each child to feel valued and be a valued part of the school and wider community.
