About Kids Matter Our vision at Kids Matter is to see every child in need raised in a strong family, giving them the best chance to flourish in life from their early years. With more than 4 million children being raised in poverty in the UK, and millions of families impacted by job loss and debt, as a result of a high cost of living, we have seen the need for support escalate over the last year. What we do We exist because parenting is hard, and so much more for mums, dads and carers, also contending with the everyday impact of poverty. Our aim is to help as many parents as possible build resilience through our community-based parenting programmes which run in the heart of the local community and in prisons, equipping parents/carers with the competence, confidence, and community needed to enable their children to thrive. Our Parenting Programmes The impact on children when their parents attend a Kids Matter group is transformational and transgenerational. The confidence, community, and competence mums, dads and carers gain upon completion of a programme means their mental health and ability to parent well improve significantly (as we know from our robust evaluation). With positive change in those two factors, we know we can predict an improvement in a child’s life trajectory, due to an improved relationship with their parent or carer… and to a smoother, calmer home life, now and in the future. If supported in a nurturing and stimulating home, the likelihood of experiencing difficulties in education and work, poor mental and physical health problems, and involvement in crime and antisocial behaviour is substantially reduced. There is a wealth of parenting research that allows us to confidently forecast such long-term changes reaching even into the next generation. Hence impacting the raising of their own future families and interrupting generations of broken relationships and family life.

Absolutely anyone can become trapped in the games of a narcissist. Escape is often far from easy, however it may appear from the outside. RespectFor.Me helps recognise the games narcissists play, in order to avoid becoming trapped by them. The Definition A narcissist is a person who deliberately manipulates others, often exploiting their victim’s empathic good will, into no-win situations, where all available options lead to painful outcomes (emotionally, physically, financially etc.), with the demands of the narcissist appearing to be the least ‘negative’ option.   RespectFor.Me is working to dis-empower Narcissistic bullying, whether childhood, relationship or workplace.

In 2007, a group of small-business owners had an idea. They asked, “What would happen if we all gave back just by doing the things we do every day?” It was a question that deeply inspired them.Three years and a great undertaking later, they were able to design the systems and processes necessary to make it work, and their dream is now a reality. The initiative was originally called 'Buy1Give1', backed by the idea that companies would create a specific giving impact with each designated business transaction. Today, the B1G1 initiative brings together more than 2,600 businesses from around the world — each making significant impacts in their own ways.Today B1G1 is run by a social enterprise (registered company in Singapore) and non-profit organization (501(c)3 registered in the US) with a mission to create a world that's full of giving. Unlike conventional giving models, B1G1 specifically helps businesses achieve more social impact by embedding giving activities into everyday business operations and creating unique giving stories. Every business transaction can help improve lives for as little as just one cent.
