24 October 2024: Kids InspireA computer image of young children dancing in a circle

Today we heard from Sandra Cole of Kids Inspire, our President’s chosen charity for 2024-25. We were pleased to welcome the President back after his recent brush with Covid.

Our speaker seemed to think that she was our first from Kids Inspire but another lady from the charity spoke to us in May. However, today’s speaker did give us more up-to-date figures which showed that their work has increased even in the five months since then. They still intend to expand beyond our county. Their founder, Sue Bell, even has ambitions to spread the work to the whole of the country. To do this, of course, they need to attract more support. Their current funding comes from local authority grants and donations from other organisations, companies and individuals. There are also volunteering opportunities with the charity, including fundraising and mentoring.
