Two mountains. 6,467 feet. Nine hours of winter hiking. 140 miles of driving. All in one day!

A massive thank you to our amazing supporter, Michael Quinn. Early next month, Michael will be taking on an epic winter endurance challenge, aiming to conquer Snowdon and Pen y Fan peaks in a single day.

We are absolutely blown away by his dedication. He is pushing his physical limits to raise vital funds for our therapy services, ensuring vulnerable children get the specialist care they need to heal.

Best of luck with the climb, Michael. We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!

How do children really show us when they are struggling?

Trauma doesn't always look the same; a child's behaviour often communicates an unmet emotional need, and signs can be masked by different coping strategies.

Swipe through to discover the emotional, behavioural, and physical signs to watch for, alongside practical trauma-informed ways to support children with care.

At KidsAid, we believe that healing isn’t a quick fix. It takes time, patience, and structured care tailored to every child and family.

While many services are limited to short-term interventions, our approach is different. We provide longer-term, bespoke creative therapy and family support tailored to each individual’s needs. Because when children and families receive the time they need, the outcomes are deeper, stronger, and more transformative.

Last weekend, we had a lovely time attending a charity event at Gulliver's Land Theme Park Resort to spread the word about KidsAid!

We had wonderful chats with so many local families who showed a real interest in the work that we do. It was an absolute treat to connect with such an amazing and supportive community.

A big thank you to Gulliver’s Land for having us along. If you want to find out more about our work, please visit: kidsaid.org.uk ✨

Businesses are part of the fabric of our community, and the support of incredible partners like Barratt Homes shows just how transformative corporate collaboration can be.

Demand for our specialist, trauma-informed therapy is rising faster than ever, and as a small charity, we cannot do it alone. Corporate partnerships do so much more than provide vital funding—they build organisational stability, create lasting social impact, and help us give more children the time and support they need to heal and thrive.

Could your business make a difference? Learn more about corporate partnership opportunities and how to get involved on our website: kidsaid.org.uk/support-us.

Every child has a story waiting to be told.

As the number of children and young people struggling without the specialist care they deserve continues to grow, we are dedicated to helping young people rewrite those stories through specialist, trauma-informed, and creative therapies. By keeping our approach child-led and bespoke, every child gets the safe, long-term support they need to heal at their own pace.
