Category: Children and Youth

Kids Company is a registered charity (number 1068298) founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh in December 1996 in order to provide practical and emotional support to ‘lone children’. These are children and young people who experience significant psychosocial difficulties because their parent is unable to function as a caring adult. The lack of a functioning adult has a negative impact on their ability to access education, health, housing, and meaningful employment. These are children who love their parents but live with worry for their well-being. Often the role of child and parent is reversed and the child is left surviving their experience of childhood alone.

The organisation is advanced in its service delivery because it has a multidisciplinary team working at street level, adapting the latest neurophysiological thinking in order to deliver a preventative and reparative therapeutic service to children. It currently supports 11,925 clients, of whom 800 are parents and teachers.

Kids Company has been independently evaluated fifteen times since 2000. All the evaluations describe the clinical service delivery by Kids Company as being outstanding. In excess of 95% of the children refer themselves or their peers to our services.

Our services are delivered through three key channels: in 33 schools across London, a children’s centre in South London – ‘The Arches II’ and a post-16 educational site – ‘The Urban Academy’.
