Contrary to popular belief the kind of person the 21st Century needs is not:

• the most intelligent
• the most technologically inclined
• the most intellectual
• the most creative
• the most educated
• the most beautiful
• the most gifted
• the most ambition
• the best leaders
• the visionaries
• the most productive
• the most entrepreneurial
• the most articulate

what the 21st century; with all its craziness needs:

is you

Yes, that’s right. You.

I am marvelling at how time and again our incredible supporters come out and do their very best for us. A couple of weeks ago we heard that the amazing Ray Mitchell (ex Woolworths Store Manager) had been awarded an MBE for her amazing contribution to charity. She was the recognised charity fundraiser in the Belshill, Scotland store for a whopping 28 years.

She has raised an incredible £100,000 for various causes that aid children in that time. Without the hard work and commitment of people like Ray; charities like Kids First Trust would never be able to survive. Especially in this current climate.

We need you.  We need your time, your talent and if you can’t donate those we would love to take some of your money. This is make or break for us. We are preparing all summer to launch Playground Partnerships with our reserve money; something that I am 110% convinced that we should be doing.  Play is the work of children. Help us build safe, innovative spaces for them to do their work in.
