Kith & Kids

Kith & Kids' supports families who have a son or daughter with autism or learning disabilities.

Kith & Kids is a charity which provides much needed support to families who have children with a learning disability or autism. Originally set up in 1969 by two families, it provides effective projects and services that enable children and young people to enjoy new life experiences, develop life skills and overcome social isolation. Throughout the year we provide volunteer-supported initiatives that enable our members to develop confidence, skills, self-esteem and friendships in a challenging yet fun and safe environment. We provide bespoke in-house training for volunteers fully support their personal development also. There are plenty of opportunities for volunteers to run workshops, training sessions and become leaders.

Hello Kith & Kids!

Fingers crossed we’re through the worst of the winter now, so that thoughts can start turning to spring and getting outdoors more often. Or maybe you set some New Year Resolutions and are still working towards the fitness goals you set at the start of the year?

Either way, Kith & Kids has an amazing running event with confirmed places available for anyone up for the challenge!

It’s the 2026 Vitality London 10,000 (10KM), happening on Sunday 27th September

We’re hoping to build a team for this event that involves all strands of the Kith & Kids family - members, families, volunteers, corporate supporters, and staff. Please share with anyone you think may be interested.

What a lovely way to spend an autumnal Sunday morning!

Last Sunday we had a team of runners run 10KM through central London in the Vitality London 10,000, taking in the sights around the Mall, St Paul's Cathedral, and Buckingham Palace, all whilst running their hearts out in aid of Kith & Kids.

Our team was a wonderful cross section of the Kith & Kids family, as we had parents of members, volunteers, a group of our friends at Coulter Partners, a member of our football team, and others new to Kith & Kids, all running and fundraising for us.

It felt so special to be able to greet them after the finishing line and thank them on behalf of everyone at Kith & Kids for all their hard work.

Thanks so much team -you were all amazing!

If you are interested in running a 10KM around some of the most famous landmarks in the world next year, please get in touch.

We ended the term with some fun days out in London. We had an inclusive music session with Joy Of Sound, we visited Alexandra Palace for a ride on the pedalo boats and a cycle at Finsbury Park. The weather called for lots of ice-cream on the day.

Wow! The dust has finally settled following an amazing day at the London Marathon on Sunday.

Despite having to deal with the intense heat on the day, we're thrilled to report that all 24 of our runners finished!

There were some sore and tired bodies afterwards, but every single runner can be so proud of their achievement - running a marathon is incredibly challenging, and to date they've raised a massive £62,000 (and counting) for Kith & Kids!

Our Cheer Squad also contributed enormously by roaring our runners on in the home stretch, so thanks so much to them for all their efforts - so very appreciated by our runners and a wonderful advertisement for Kith & Kids.

Kith & Kids has places available for the Vitality London 10,000 (in September), and the 2026 London Marathon, so if you'd like to take on the challenge and run for Team K&K, please contact Rich, at rich@kithandkids.org.uk.

What a glorious, sunny day to run a marathon!

Kith & Kids has 24 amazing runners giving it their all today.

If you’re coming down to watch, keep an eye out for 22 runners in the blue and white K&K vests as well as two running in inflatable dinosaur costumes!

If you would like to join our cheer squad, we’re positioned at at Mile 25, on the corner of Northumberland Avenue and Victoria Embankment, right next to the traffic lights!

What a day!

Last Wednesday we played a football tournament with our friends from BlackRock. Football on a sunny day, played in a great spirit, with lots of skill on display, followed by a few drinks in the clubhouse - you can't beat it!

Thanks so much to Edd, Katie and everyone from BlackRock who came out to make the day so special!

We started March off with some super fun days out. We visited Ally Pally for a spot of ice-skating, enjoyed a drumming workshop, a trip to the cinema and even squeezed in soft play with a game or two in the park.
