Our Team

Our mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in our communities who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs. We believe that all children should be able to express their individuality, achieve their potential and live life to the full.  We work with grassroots organisations that aim to make a difference to young lives, directly supporting families who often have nowhere else to go.

You must be passionate about making a difference for local kids who need our help.  You will be required to establish relationships with all key stakeholders both internally and externally.

Networking will be a major part of this role in order to recruit companies to adopt Cash for Kids.
