KIDS is a national charity, founded in 1970, that provides a wide range of services to disabled children, young people and their families in England. From 2020-2021, 11,800 disabled children from birth to 25 years benefitted from our work. Our services include: drop-in crèches and nurseries for the under 5s to youth clubs, short breaks and residential stays for young adults. Commissioners and users appreciate the high quality of our information, advice and mediation services and 96% of parents say they are happy with the KIDS services they receive.

We aim to empower disabled children and young people to develop their skills and achieve their aspirations. We create opportunities for them to take part in play, learning, leisure, skills training and social activities. Our success is based upon building a close partnership with parents, carers and siblings and helping them find solutions to the obstacles they meet in daily life.
