Cash for Kids (England, Wales & NI)
Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity helping the children that need it most across the UK. Our mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in our communities who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs. We believe that all children should be able to express their individuality, achieve their potential and live life to the full. We work with grassroots organisations that aim to make a difference to young lives, directly supporting families who often have nowhere else to go.

Cash for Kids has funded some specialist outdoor play equipment including a ball run, activity frame, painting easel and car ramp. All these items are to support critical thinking , exploration, fun and laughter and help develop imagination skills. Outside play is especially important to support children's well being, as it reduces anxiety and enhances freedom and that feel good factor of being in the fresh air.
