What we do
Kesteven Children in Need is very much a local charity. We raise money
with the sole aim of enabling children in our local community to
flourish socially, mentally and physically; despite very difficult
family circumstances.
The charity acts purely on referrals from professionals within our
community. Health visitors, doctors, social workers, teachers and
ministers will get in touch with us once they identify a need for
practical help within a family.
The practical help that Kesteven Children in Need provides is wide ranging and includes:
Accident and Harm Prevention
We aim to help keep the children in our
community safe. This can mean that we provide something as fundamental
as a stair gate or a fireguard or we can offer a nursery place to
children who need respite from their home lives.
Child Development
This can be something as simple as providing a table, chairs and a box of crayons.
We can also help promote healthy social, physical and mental development
of a child by funding nursery places or providing specialist teachers.
Emergency Response
Kesteven Children in Need provides valuable and
immediate support to social services for families in crisis where
situations have seriously deteriorated. Children can often be displaced
and end up sharing beds or sleeping on the floor. Just providing a
bed, bedding or a buggy can make a big difference.
