Partner with us

Kids Inspire is a children’s mental health charity working with families across Essex and Suffolk. Each year, we support thousands of children and families, helping them to recover from trauma, build resilience and feel more able to cope with life’s challenges. By partnering with us, you can help more young people access the specialist support they need.

Our current priorities

Our current priorities focus on strengthening our mental health support and reaching more children as needs grow. Support from partners helps us to:

deliver specialist therapy and group programmes to children, young people and families from low-income households - who would otherwise be unable to access support
engage and reach more children and families across Essex and Suffolk who may fall outside statutory thresholds
use our experience and specialist knowledge to provide trauma informed training to professionals working with children and families
invest in our team, making sure staff have the training, support and guidance they need to give children the best possible care.
