Kith & Kids

Kith & Kids' supports families who have a son or daughter with autism or learning disabilities.

Kith & Kids is a charity which provides much needed support to families who have children with a learning disability or autism. Originally set up in 1969 by two families, it provides effective projects and services that enable children and young people to enjoy new life experiences, develop life skills and overcome social isolation. Throughout the year we provide volunteer-supported initiatives that enable our members to develop confidence, skills, self-esteem and friendships in a challenging yet fun and safe environment. We provide bespoke in-house training for volunteers fully support their personal development also. There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers to run workshops, training sessions and become leaders.

Rather last minute, but hopefully better late than never...

We need to make a special shout out to 4 members of the Kith & Kids United football team, David Allen, David Yeboah, George Fyfe, and the Club Captain, Alex Crouch, who are all taking on the challenge of running the Vitality London 10K on behalf of Kith & Kids!

In a wonderful show of team spirit, once they found out we had spaces still to fill for the run, they volunteered, despite having little time to train.

Supporting them throughout the run are their coach Dario, footy volunteers Jonnie & Polina, with Jordan videoing the whole journey!

They also had some hardy team mates join them for a tough training run around Lordship Rec Ground a couple of weekends ago - thanks very much Charles, Baz, Kev, and TJ.

Good luck tomorrow everyone!

We've got an amazing team of runners about to take on the Vitality London 10K on Sunday, but we want to highlight some of our family members running for Kith & Kids.

We have Dorota (Adam's mum), John & Kakoli (Harriet B Beatrice's parents) and Peter (co-chair of our Management Committee & Chrissie's Dad) all getting ready to take on the challenge.

All four ran for us last year (see all the smiling post-run photos), and are challenging themselves in various ways this year, either going for personal bests, or, in Peter's case, aiming for '70 years old in 70 minutes'!

Please drop a good luck message in the comments below! It seems we've used up all our Facebook links for the month, so if you'd like to donate, please do so on our Kith & Kids JustGiving page.

Good luck guys!

Hi everyone,

Kith & Kids is very lucky to have a great team of runners getting ready to run the Vitality London 10K this Sunday 27th on our behalf.

We've got some beginner runners, very experienced runners, & determined walkers, and they would love it if you could cheer them on!

It's happening on Sunday morning until 12.30, and the route takes in the Mall, the Strand, St Paul's Cathedral, Houses of Parliament, St James Park, and finishes outside Buckingham Palace! You can see the route at https://www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-10000/course

There's a famous party atmosphere along the route and lots of activities to do in Green Park. Please let us know if you're in the area!

In our team, we have a mix of:
- volunteers
- members,
- K&K parents
- players from our football team
- K&K staff & friends of the charity.

We'll tell you more about individual runners over the next few days, but want to highlight one of our runners - the wonderful Adam Lodynski!

Many of you will know Adam from our holiday projects, weekend clubs, and summer camps. Adam always had loads of energy and ran lots on those activities, so he's really excited to run the 10K!

It's a real team affair for Adam, as he'll be accompanied by his support workers Opoku & Talukdar, and his mum Dorota is running as well!

If you would like to support Adam, please donate on his fundraising page https://www.justgiving.com/page/adam-lodynski-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

Go Adam!

It’s Marathon Day!!!!

Kith & Kids is so fortunate to have 21 hardy souls running on our behalf at the world famous London Marathon today!

They’ve done amazingly well with their training and fundraising for K&K, and now it’s just the small matter of running 26 miles in one go!

We also have a team of cheerleaders to roar them (and everyone else) on, and are set up at Mile 25 - about 200 metres from Embankment station. If you’re planning on enjoying the wonderful marathon day atmosphere, then please come and say hi.

Let’s get our guys over the finish line!!!!
