Kids KIDS Corporate Volunteering Programme
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

KIDS runs 4 adventure playgrounds across London which offer disabled children and young people access to a safe space to play. Join us in 2021 for KIDS’ corporate volunteering days. Volunteering ensures the playgrounds receive vital maintenance work throughout the year so that our children and young people have a clean, safe and exciting place to play! It's the perfect opportunity to re-connect with colleagues in person and re-charge team spirit, whilst giving back to local communities.

Beneficiaries

  • The General Public / Mankind

    Volunteering offers a chance to socialise with colleagues post-lockdown and outside the workplace. It gives you the opportunity to give back to the community, gain a sense of purpose, to feel happier, whilst developing existing skills and knowledge.

  • Children / Young People

    By volunteering you are enabling children with disabilities to have access to a safe and inclusive place to play and socialise all year round, an opportunity which they might not otherwise get due to personal circumstances.
