The Kids Network was founded in 2016 because of a huge need; the twinned problems of accelerated gentrification next to stark inequality and an increasing mental health crisis.This has challenged the cohesiveness and overall happiness of our communities.
Our Vision: is to see better connected communities where all young people can thrive.
Our mission: is to create new meaningful community connections through mentoring to increase wellbeing and resilience for positive futures.
Our values: are run, commitment, connection, diversity and aspiration.
We are a society of hyper connected yet isolated human beings living side by side. Right now that isolation is being felt more than ever before.
We, the Kids Network, are in a unique position to mobilse the power of indiviudals - connecting them to a child whose mental health is currenly particualrly at risk - and which could effect their health and happiness for the rest of their lives.
