Corporate Partnerships

A PARTNERSHIP THAT CREATES MEASURABLE CHANGE

Businesses have a powerful opportunity to make a real, lasting difference to children at a critical time in their lives. A partnership with The Kids Network aligns you with our vision that any child who wants one should have a trusted adult mentor, who helps them thrive and grow. Our year-long programme supports children aged 8-11 to internalise confidence, regulate emotions and develop self-belief: tools for a brighter future.

We work together with businesses who are looking for meaningful ways to demonstrate their values and align their community engagement with their business objectives. It’s a chance to share in the positive outcomes of an organisation that is already achieving great things for children.

From strategic grants and fundraising campaigns to employee volunteering and delivering group mentoring sessions for our children, we can shape a partnership that works for you. To start the conversation, contact our Development Lead, Jonjo Warrick: j.warrick@thekidsnetwork.org.uk

The TKN team did an amazing job. It was truly inspiring to hear from you and learn more about the incredible work The Kids Network is doing.

LONG-TERM IMPACT FOR LONDON’S CHILDREN

Our positive impact is proven. Children finish the programme more confident, more resilient and better equipped for life. Our long-term research shows that having a mentor provides measurable positive effects that endure into adolescence and beyond – as well as benefiting TKN mentors themselves.

Early intervention between the ages of 8-11 can set people up for life: it’s an investment in the future not just of one child, but it instead provides a positive ripple effect across society as they grow up with better confidence and social skills, along with bigger dreams. Partnering with us makes you a part of this transformation.
