ABOUT US

Free to Be Kids supports some of the most disadvantaged children from across London

Free to Be Kids help London children who are struggling with complex disadvantage, to feel included, adventurous, proud and successful – often for the first time in a long time.

Using outdoor adventures, intensive time alongside attuned adults and structures that help to build friendships and social skills, we work with children for as long as they need to build their confidence and better see their skills and talents. In turn, this work helps them to change their stories about who they are, and what they are capable of.
