Foreword by our Patron the RT. Hon. George Howarth M.P
| am delighted to be a patron of Jus Kidz.
In true Knowsley tradition, this group of mums have identified a problem- lack of activities at weekends for children with disabilities- and taken up the challenge of creating their own organisation to address the matter.
1
impressively, they have forged strong links with the relevant agencies, raised funding for activities for young people and have ambitious plans to extend them further. Many families, in the past struggling to provide stimulating opportunities for young members of their families with disabilities, now have help and support from people who know from first-hand what it is like to struggle alone. We all owe Jus Kidz a big debt of gratitude. Regards, George Howarth MP Knowsley
Chair Person’s Report:
Due to the prolonged pandemic, we as a charity followed all govt guidelines but unfortunately, we had to close our doors at several points throughout the year. Covid 19 affected staffing levels and also due to complexity and vulnerability of our children and young people we did see a drop in numbers attending which was totally understandable. Hopefully we have turned the corner and can resume our normal delivery and activities which now more needed than ever for the mental health and well being of our cyp.
| would like to thank all our generous funders for their continued understanding throughout these challenging times and would also like to express our deep appreciation to the manager/staff/volunteers/parent/carers and cyp for their continued support and understanding througha difficult year.
P.English Chairperson
introduction:
About Us
Jus Kidz is an award winning not for profit voluntary organisation with Charity status. We provide a safe, stimulating indoor/outdoor play environment where all the children are free to express themselves without prejudice. The staff at Jus Kidz are trained, experienced and DBS checked. Each child has an individual care plan and one to one support where necessary. We are able to offer the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and Makaton communication systems where required. Specialist toys and equipment are also available. During the sessions there are various activities the children can take part in and free play is encouraged. Activities are decided in consultation with children.
Our Mission
Jus Kidz provides a haven for kidz and parents alike, where play is the central theme enjoyed by those who care and respect others.
[t provides a forum for those who thought themselves unique and isolated. Through this dialogue comes greater understanding.
Our Aims
2
Jus Kidz will provide a stimulating safe play environment for our children with disabilities and their siblings, where they can be themselves without discrimination. Jus Kidz will provide a place for families to gain respite, support each other, form friendships, learn, have fun and relax.
Our Objectives
-
To provide a service to support children and young people with disabilities, and their siblings.
-
To work with parents and carers, giving advice and support and offer inclusive activities to promote tolerance and understanding.
-
To offer a safe environment for children with disabilities to express themselves without prejudice.
-
To treat them as other children, to offer opportunities to the things other children do and to help them become non-dependent where possible.
-
To access education and employment and ultimately live an independent life as adults in the community.
Our Background
Jus Kidz was founded in October 2004 by a group of parents who wanted to end the isolation their children endured at weekends. Most of our children with disabilities do not have friends at home due to not being able to play out like other children, and some attend schools outside their local area. The majority of children, and some attend schools outside their local area. The majority of children would not be in contact with any children from finishing school on a Friday again until they were back in school on Monday. There was nothing appropriate and suitable for the children to attend in Knowsley, and so we formed Jus Kidz.
Parents/carers are given a much needed break and the opportunity to exchange experiences, solutions to support each other and form friendships. Parents/carers are welcome to stay for a coffee, chat or to just simply sit and relax. Jus Kidz offers much needed support and respite to parents/carers and siblings who are involved in caring.
During the reporting year 2020/2021 Jus Kidz offered the following sessions including the Friday Night Youth Club, Saturday clubs plus summer holiday and all half term holidays.
How we are governed

Currently it has members made up of local community organisations, interested individuals and support organisations. At each Annual General Meeting the management committee, i.e. the Board of Directors, is elected.

How we work with and involve people with a disability
Children have been involved in all decisions relating to the club since the conception. The logo was designed by one of our sibling members and the name Jus Kidz was decided by all children and young people. Children and young people have chosen the colour and style of staff and volunteer uniforms. Children and young people have taken part in interviews for new staff members. All parent/carers and cyp are continually consulted on a regular basis involving all aspects in relation to Jus Kidz.
