At Kith & Kids, everything we do is about connection.

For many families who have a child or young person with a learning disability or autism — often alongside additional physical or sensory needs — life can sometimes feel isolating. Social opportunities aren’t always accessible, and finding safe, understanding spaces can be a challenge.

That’s where Kith & Kids comes in.

What We Do

Kith & Kids supports families across the UK by creating inclusive, volunteer-supported services and community projects. We provide opportunities for children and young people to:

• Build confidence

• Develop life skills

• Make meaningful friendships

• Take part in social, sports and holiday activities

• Feel part of a welcoming and supportive community

From weekend clubs and sports teams to holiday projects and residential trips, our activities are designed to reduce isolation and increase inclusion. We believe every young person deserves the chance to grow, belong and thrive.

But none of this would be possible without our volunteers.

Why Volunteering With Kith & Kids Is So Special

Volunteering isn’t just about giving your time — it’s about being part of something bigger.

When you volunteer with Kith & Kids, you become part of a supportive community that genuinely changes lives. You’ll help young people try new experiences, achieve personal goals, and gain confidence in a safe environment. And in return, you’ll gain skills, friendships and memories that stay with you long after the session ends.

You’ll Make a Real Difference

Sometimes it’s the small things that matter most — encouraging someone to try a new activity, celebrating a goal scored at football, or simply being someone who listens. Those moments can have a lasting impact.

You’ll Grow Too

Volunteering builds communication skills, teamwork, empathy and confidence. Many of our volunteers tell us it’s one of the most rewarding experiences they’ve ever had.

You’ll Be Part of a Community

Kith & Kids isn’t just a charity — it’s a community of families, young people and volunteers working together to create positive change. You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll receive training, guidance and ongoing support from our team.

Who Can Volunteer?

We welcome people from all walks of life — whether you’re a student, working professional, retired, or simply someone who wants to give back. You don’t need specialist experience. What matters most is kindness, commitment and a willingness to get involved.

Be the Difference

At its heart, Kith & Kids is about belonging. About making sure no family feels alone. About creating spaces where young people can laugh, learn and feel valued.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Give your time. Share your skills. Make new connections.

And help create opportunities that truly change lives.
