kids company

Every day we offer loving care to vulnerable children, many of whom have been neglected or abused. More and more children are coming to us because they are hungry and there just isn’t enough food for them at home.  Kids Company provides hot nutritious meals for 2000 children each week and we urgently need your help to continue and expand this vital provision.

85 % of Children at Kids Company say they rely on us for their main meal of the day.

Our PLATE PLEDGE appeal will help us to help tackle the increasing levels of food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition experienced by too many children.  With your support, our appeal will help us to feed vulnerable and hungry children and raise awareness of the inequality and deprivation that is compounding the misery of maltreatment for thousands of children who are surviving their childhoods alone.
Please watch a short film made by the children and young people of Kids Company and join our appeal now at: www.kidscoplatepledge.org

“We are seeing a lot more children struggling to get hold of food. We’re seeing effectively responsible parents who are just not managing to have food at home. For some children it’s definitely got to the point of being a humanitarian disaster. Every day children come to our street level centres who don’t have anything to eat at home. There is a silent epidemic of hunger and malnutrition. Children don’t have a public voice so they can’t tell us. We have a collective responsibility to change children’s futures for the better”
