A HUGE KIDS COMPANY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT MORGAN STANLEY !!!
The Morgan Stanley Heart Yard was opened on 30 April 2013 by Joanna Lumley with Camila and Sue Watts, Chair of the Morgan Stanley International Foundation. Morgan Stanley and its London employees raised £1.6 million enabling Kids Company to purchase and equip a permanent therapy centre that will give thousands of children the help they need.
This is the first centre that Kids Company now owns outright, providing a legacy for the charity and a lasting tribute to the generosity of Morgan Stanley and its employees for which we are so grateful.
The Morgan Stanley Heart Yard is a therapeutic sanctuary in the heart of South London where the most vulnerable children will receive intensive emotional and psychological support. Kids Company provides a lifeline to children, young people and carers to overcome the unimaginable abuses suffered during their lives through a range of holistic and traditional therapies.
The new building offers double the capacity of the previous rented facility with six additional rooms which have been made into dedicated therapy rooms. Kids Company aims to double the number of face to face sessions from 500 per month to 1,000 per month having a huge impact on the lives of so many more children.

IN THE PRESS:
KIDS COMPANY ON THE SECRET MILLIONS' CHANNEL 4
Kids Company were recently involved in Channel 4's The Secret Millions', which aired last Sunday 28th of April. Led by Gok Wan, the documentary follows the journey of some of our young people as they pilot a new therapy-based programme; a project that will develop the skills that our most vulnerable young people need to enter the workplace. The pilot is part of a plea to the Big Lottery to ask for big money to make the scheme permanent.
If you missed it, catch up here on 4OD, and find out whether we managed to secure the funding!
