Kids Inspire has received £ 5000 to fund therapy and support to young people who have suffered trauma and/or are disadvantaged in Essex.

The donation was provided by the Santander Foundation, which offers grants to UK registered charities for projects that help disadvantaged people in local communities.

The grant will allow us to provide bespoke mentoring, therapy and practical support to children and young people that have suffered distress, neglect or abuse and who may have diagnosed or emerging mental health. This will allow them to regulate their feelings and behaviour and enable them to fulfil their potential

Paula Ashfield, Fundraising Manager at Kids Inspire said: “We are so grateful to receive a grant from the Santander Foundation. This will help us support more young people that have suffered trauma in Essex.”
