Christmas at Kids Company -

Kids Company will be holding a huge party for over 4,000 children, young people and their families complete with games, storytelling, a Santa's grotto, a Christmas dinner and presents! The charity also aims to support a further 12,000 in the community with desperately needed food and gift parcels. Kids Company creates all of this with the help of over 300 volunteers who work to make a magical Christmas that the children can look forward to.

Founder and CEO Camila Batmanghelidjh says:

When you are left alone on Christmas Day, the most painful shame takes over. No family or friend to turn to on a day when everyone is gathered together. It is for the children, young people and traumatised carers who are terrified of Christmas that we open on Christmas Day at Kids Company. It's a joyful, mad, ramshackle day enriched by the generosity of complete strangers. On the 25th of December we bring together those who have needs and those who can meet them in one big celebration .

Kids Company hopes that with the help of the public, they can raise enough funds to provide the children, young people and distressed carers that access Kids Company's services with warm clothing, a hot meal and support during what can be extremely challenging months for them and their families.
