About Free To Be Kids

Free to Be Kids is an award winning children's adventure and mental health charity supporting some of the most disadvantaged children in London to transform the building blocks of mental health via joy, adventure and the outdoors. We help children who've never left their area of London before lead nightwalks through the woods, kayak down rivers and camp out under the stars for the first time. And then use these experiences to help children rebuild confidence, self-esteem, resilience, key social skills, and belief in what they can achieve. Children whose childhoods have left them feeling different, unwanted, alone or failing, instead experience themselves as proud, brave, included, resourceful and successful. Ultimately our work helps particularly disadvantaged children change their stories about who they are, and who they can be. Our main "Thrive Outside" programme takes particularly disadvantaged children on immersive, joy-filled week-long countryside breaks, helping them to feel wanted, valued, talented and special. For those most in need, we provide follow-on longterm support through further programmes of small group residentials, one to one mentoring and our youth leadership programme. Free to Be is a charity built around the core idea that people coming together with passion and commitment can achieve incredible things for vulnerable children. We are proud of our determination and can-do approach - our staff and volunteers go the extra mile, whether it's sticking with a young person through the wind and rain as they figure out a problem or learning new skills ourselves to respond to challenges as they arise. If this approach resonates with you, your Company, or your network, we'd love to talk about how we can work together to create change for vulnerable children.
