Youth Ambassador for London endorses us!
Back in February I had a target list of well-respected individuals working in and responsible for work with children and young people. Funding is very important but so is recognition. Having never been a public-facing charity, its of equal importance to build our credibility. So my time has been divided between writing applications, making calls and attending meetings about money and educating people about the work we have done over the years and asking them to provide us with an endorsement.
Today, I had a response from James Cleverley, Youth Ambassador for London. This is what he said:
“Kids First Trust fulfills a vital role by encouraging and supporting the importance of play amongst children in London. I am happy to lend my support to this organisation and its Playground Partnerships scheme which has produced some excellent results through the involvement of children in the transformation of school playgrounds. I hope its work continues into the future.”
