The Kids Network

Have you set your New Year’s resolutions yet? Let’s be honest– most resolutions fade by February. So, why not start strong in 2025 and choose one that creates a lasting impact, for yourself and for others? Coincidentally, we have some recommendations… Support TKN’s life-changing mentorship programme for children aged 8-11: ➡️ Take on a challenge that excites you with Run For Charity and fundraise for TKN. Not a runner? There are countless activities: a walk, run, hike, cycle, obstacle course, or virtual race. Every step you take and pound you raise helps fund our mentorship programme, turning your effort into impact! We have 5 spaces available for the biggest London events! Sign up with Run For Charity and message us to secure one of our slots: https://lnkd.in/ePW7Hsa7. ➡️ Become a volunteer mentor and directly transform a child’s life, taking them on weekly, fun adventures and providing a safe, supportive environment. ➡️ Or, simply give a one-off donation of just £35 to fund a whole month of mentoring for a Little Londoner– an opportunity for them to thrive, grow, and believe in a brighter future. This year, let’s make resolutions that count—for you and the lives you’ll change.

🌍 Could you help fund a child’s future? Our CEO, Louise Johns-Shepherd, tells us why the £35 monthly budget is vital in helping unlock moments of joy, discovery, and growth for mentors and mentees. Children explore creative workshops, try new sports, and ignite their curiosity. These experiences inspire confidence, trust, and new passions that shape their futures with unforgettable experiences they wouldn’t have otherwise. 🌟 Donate £35 today via the link in our bio and make this #MentorMagic possible for more children: https://lnkd.in/eYN73R_Q #12DaysOfMentoring #TeamTKN
