Our response to the autumn budget – 2024

We’ve summarised how some of the autumn budget announcements might impact disabled children.

When the world says we can’t, kids say we can.

We’re Kids.

On the side of over two million children and young people with disabilities and special educational needs and their families.

We’re on a mission to create a world where all kinds of children and young people have all kinds of opportunities.

We create life-changing opportunities by providing a wide range of support. From early years into adulthood. Learning and development. Playschemes, adventure playgrounds and youth groups.

Together, we’ll empower you to stand up for your rights. When the world blocks us, we speak up. To get the right information at the right time. Piece things together. Jump through hoops. Educate, inform and inspire.

We’re one team. Celebrating individuality. Thinking creatively. Working together. Staying positive. However tough life gets.

Childhood should be joyful.

Not defined by what children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities cannot do. That’s wrong.

So let’s unite and speak up.

Because when the world says we can’t, kids say we can.
