Kids Matter

Kids Matter reduces the impact of poverty on children through community-based programmes.

Community makes a difference ✨

When families have a place where they feel welcome, supported and connected, they're able to build relationships that can have a lasting impact.

Parents and carers gain people they can turn to, children benefit from a wider circle of caring adults, and nobody has to face life's challenges alone.

Parenting can feel a lot less overwhelming when you know you're not doing it alone!

What began as a room full of separate experiences quickly became a community. Parents found people who understood, shared advice, celebrated wins, and offered support through the tougher days. And those connections don't just benefit parents, they create stronger support networks for children too 💪

These numbers represent real families, stronger relationships and brighter futures for children!

Thank you to every parent, group helper, and facilitator who is working to create lasting change in their community 🪴

When Joey first joined a Kids Matter group, he chose to open up about his experiences.

What he found when he did was support, encouragement and sense of community from other dads in the group. By learning from one another and realising they weren't alone, parents were able to build genuine connections and grow together 🪴

Now, Joey volunteers as a group helper, helping to create that same welcoming space for other parents.

When parents build confidence, develop the competence, and find a supportive community around them, families are better equipped to thrive 🪴

Stronger relationships, reduced isolation, and greater resilience at home all help to lessen the impact that poverty can have on children, giving them the foundations they need to flourish!

"I'm hoping that it's going to have such a huge impact on, you know, on my children and then their children."
