Kids' City - Good for you! Parliament event
As part of our 15th birthday celebrations we held an event at the House of Commons!
The event was hosted by Chuka Umunna, MP and attended by Headteachers, school staff, Lambeth Council Officers and other interested parties. Everyone came together to celebrate the successes of Kids' City over the last 15 years. The event included speeches from Chuka Umunna, MP, Anita Wright, retired ex-Headteacher at Woodmansterne Primary, Andy Marks, Headteacher at Eardley Primary and Angela Spatharou, Kids' City Chair of Trustees.
The evening was a brilliant success that paid tribute to the dedication and passion of Kids' City staff and volunteers. The charity prides itself in providing children with opportunities to enjoy structured play activities in a safe and stimulating environment.
Jackie Nunns, founder and CEO of Kids' City says: "It was a privilege to share this milestone in Kids' City's history with so many dedicated people,in such an impressive venue. Looking back over the last 15 years it seems to have passed in a flash but equally for it to be taking far too long for children to be able to take things like Kids' City for granted. I am very grateful to Chuka Umunna MP, Anita Wright, Andy Marks and Angela Spatharou, for their insight and continued support for the charity's work as well as the many hundreds of others that make sure the right people are in the right place at the right time for play."
Our Annual Report 2009 and Stakeholder Highlight Report 2009/10 were launched on the night with great success.
