As the summer holidays came to a close, the team at TKN loved catching up with mentors and mentees hearing all their updates with some really exciting activities and meaningful mentoring sessions during their time off. 

The beginning of a new school year is a critical time, especially for children in their final year of primary school and those starting secondary school. Transitioning to secondary school can be a big step, filled with both excitement and challenges. That's where mentoring comes in. 

TKN is thrilled to be training 22 more amazing mentors in September to match with #LittleLondoners this year. The energy and enthusiasm is fantastic with everyone ready to get stuck in and make an impact for their local communities. We can't wait to see their journey - this is just the beginning!

This month, TKN looked through some feedback from a school partnership who told them about a pupil who had a wonderful transformation thanks to The Kids Network.

One pupil struggled with Speech and Language issues and lacked confidence during Year 5. Initially silent in class, he blossomed over the year with his mentor's support, focusing on creative expression through playful dancing and nature activities.

By year’s end, he was so confident and engaged that his teacher had to manage his enthusiastic contributions! His newfound self-esteem also made his transition to secondary school much smoother.

This is one of many feedback stories TKN receive showing how tailored mentoring can unlock a child's potential and change lives.

We're thrilled to see such positive impacts TKN are making, 

Love the SPK UK Team x
