Kids in Action Children's Charity

Kids In Action Was the Charity Sponsor for the SME Business Awards 2026

Kids In Action was proud to serve as the official Charity Sponsor for the SME Business Awards 2026, a major celebration of outstanding small and medium‑sized businesses across the region.

This partnership gave us a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on the work we do to support children and young people with disabilities and special needs. Being chosen as the charity partner recognised the impact of our programmes and helped us share our mission with a wider community of local leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

Most importantly, this sponsorship helped us continue providing a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where young people can build confidence, make friends, and thrive.

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported the raffle and purchased tickets, together we raised an amazing £4000.

We are incredibly grateful to Essential Workwear for choosing to support our charity — and we were honoured to celebrate the achievements of local businesses who, like us, are passionate about making a positive difference.

We See Ability. We Build Belonging.

Kids in Action is a charity devoted to supporting children and young adults with special needs—with a strong focus on positively transforming lives through friendship, freedom, and fun.

Did you know that 2% of the UK population is born with a learning disability? Or that up to 18% of people live with some form of disability?

Now imagine this: on top of the daily challenges that come with those realities, many are met with loneliness, exclusion, bullying, and discrimination. The toll that takes—on self-esteem, mental health, and quality of life—is enormous.

That’s where we step in.

Opening Doors to Connection and Confidence

The difference Kids in Action makes is life changing.

Through our accessible, welcoming facilities and activities, we provide children and young people with disabilities the same opportunities for fun, friendship, and freedom that others may take for granted. But for our members, it’s so much more than that. We help break down the barriers of isolation that so often surround them—offering not just a place to go, but a place to belong. A place where social and communication skills are nurtured, self-confidence grows, and—often for the very first time—friendships bloom.
