Since our establishment in 2003, we have supported over 3,000 children and young people, primarily from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2025, we continued to expand our reach and deepen our impact across Hackney and Haringey—delivering inclusive, engaging, and developmental programmes for children aged 3–14, including those facing overcrowded living conditions, disabilities, trauma, and social exclusion. Our work remains rooted in the belief that every child deserves access to safe spaces, opportunities, and support to thrive. Through our dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters, we continue to provide not only activities, but pathways toward confidence, wellbeing, and future success. ## Mission and Vision ## Mission Kids N’ Action is dedicated to providing inclusive recreational, educational, and developmental opportunities for children and young people—particularly those from disadvantaged, refugee, and SEND backgrounds. We aim to enhance wellbeing, build skills, and improve life outcomes through structured programmes and community support. ## Vision We envision a future where every child—regardless of background, ability, or circumstance—has equal access to opportunities that foster growth, resilience, and aspiration. We strive to empower young people to become confident, capable, and active members of society. **Annual Report and Accounts 2025** **02** **KIDS N’ ACTION** Charity Number: 1096182 www.kidsnaction.co.uk knaforms@gmail.com ## Trustees’ Report **Kids N’ Action (Charity No. 1096182)** continues to play a vital role in supporting vulnerable children and young people across **Hackney** and **Haringey** .
