Corporate Fundraising Pack
We have just brought out our 2015 version of our corporate fundraising pack. It includes new ideas on how to fundraise for Kids Company along with some old favourites. If you would like one to be sent to you please email - charlotte.porter@kidsco.org.uk
Mother's Day Fundraiser
On Mother's Day we celebrate all the amazing women who nurture a child into the world and raise it with unconditional love. Many of the children and young people Kids Company supports have not had the same loving experience and in many cases, have taken on the role of mother themselves due to their parents' own challenges. But through the invaluable role of the keyworker, Kids Company aims to provide a maternal figure to thousands who do not have a reliable adult in their lives. We act as an additional or substitute parent, supporting families struggling to cope. We take them to the Doctor's if they're sick, we talk to their school if they're in trouble, and we provide them with proper clothes, food to eat and a bed to sleep in. Crucially, we make sure they have somebody to talk to and turn to, someone who really cares and won't give up on them. Our children are at the centre of everything we do and we cocoon them with unrelenting love.
Help us provide our children and young people with the love and support they deserve; no child should ever have to feel alone.
Please donate at http://www.kidsco.org.uk/donate.
Scarlet and Violet
We are bloomin' (pun intended!) delighted that London-based florist Scarlet and Violet is supporting us this Mother's Day. For every £35 Sweetie Jar of flowers sold on 14th/15th March, £10 will be donated to Kids Company. Vic Brotherson, founder of Scarlet and Violet says, I think it's really important to give back, and we're in the lucky position that we're able to collaborate with charities that we believe make a real difference to people's lives, so it just seemed natural for us this Mother's Day to work with Kids Company, a great cause that makes a difference in London.' You can order yours via info@scarletandviolet.co.uk / 0208 969 9446.

DATES FOR THE DIARY
Pico Aneto - Pyrenees
Event Dates: Friday 23 May - Sunday 25 May
Registration Fee: TBC but around £290.00
Suggested Sponsorship: £975.00 (excluding GiftAid)
Join Kids Company in our attempt to conquer the highest peak in the Pyrenees at 3404m!
A two-day spring ascent promises glorious weather and a sprinkling of snow cover on the glacier, meaning ice axes, crampons and ropes will be necessary for the exhilarating climb. The final ascent will begin by torchlight as we head for the gullies and then on to the eventual steep, airy traverse to the peak. This challenge is not for the faint-hearted, but it is well worth the effort for the magnificent views and the immense feeling of achievement you'll be rewarded with as you conquer the highest peak in the Pyrenees.
Please note this event is very challenging, best suited for participants with high levels of fitness and some mountain experience. For more information and to register, email suzie.curran@kidsco.org.uk
(Costs NOT included: flights, insurance and kit that needs to be purchased)
Superhero Fun Run - Regent's Park
Event Date: Sunday 17 May
Registration Fee: £22.00
Suggested Sponsorship: £100.00 or £200.00 (depending on distance)
A great fun run in the beautiful Regent's Park. You can choose to run either 5K or 10K and all runners receive a FREE superhero outfit! You can set yourself a time goal or just relax and enjoy a more leisurely pace. This is a great event to do with friends/family and is an enjoyable and active day out.
