Kids Company helped me when I needed it most | Letters

I feel the need to express my opinion on the stories I so often read about Kids Company. I was eight when I first met Kids Company staff at my school in south London. I was then introduced to other staff and attended a centre in Camberwell every day after school.

The support, warmth, care and love I received helped me escape my reality, which consisted of sexual, physical and emotional abuse from members of my own family.
