And here you can read about the three charities!

Please donate to them as they help many kids in London,

UK, and in the World for the Year of the Bus – London

KIDS COMPANY LONDON

 

Kids Company operates through four centres and a therapy house in London.

We also offer therapeutic and social work services in over 40 schools.

Our unique multidisciplinary approach combines health, housing, emotional wellbeing, mental health, arts, sports, youth justice, education and employment. These interventions are designed to strengthen, supplement or substitute the child’s parenting experience.

Our aim is to first stabilize each young person by meeting their practical needs, before helping them to address emotional and behavioural difficulties. Once the young person has achieved some sense of stability and calm, we help them to identify talents and interests and so develop aspirations for the future.

 

 

Transaid

We tackle poverty and disadvantage by building transport skills and knowledge in the developing world

Transaid is an international development charity. We identify, champion, implement and share local transport solutions to improve access to basic services and economic opportunity for people in Africa and in developing countries. Transaid was founded by Save the Children and The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and our Patron is HRH The Princess Royal. 

 

London Transport Museum

 

London Transport Museum is a Museum of urban transport which delivers important educational and heritage preservation charitable work across Greater London. The Museum continues to reinforce its message of the importance of public transport creatively, collaboratively and meaningfully, whilst also offering unparalleled opportunities to meet business and CSR objectives through debate, networking and staff engagement. The Museum would like to thank in particular:

The month of February is a very special month for us children because is half term! Yeah!! The city is full of 
wonderful events, workshops and activities for us! And I can’t wait to get there with my friend the London Bus.
For this post I have chosen 
THE SOUTH BANK –
SOUTH BANK
a beautiful building which you’ll find by the River Thames just by the London Eye! The South Bank is a building full of artists who perform for kids and grown-ups. Sometimes you have to pay -sometimes you don’t.. and yes, some events are FREE ….which I like very much! I love the foyer in particular as it is a place where you can play, relax and have fun! Sometimes you can listen to music and see people dancing there! The 9th of Feb starts the ‘Imagine Children’s Festival’
which will last until the 22nd of February.
Among the many events don’t miss (Tuesday February 3, 2015 South Bank) the ON READING AND
WALKING AND THINKING performance that last until March! Artist Emmanuelle Waeckerlé will walk,dance,
and draw through a world of words…It starts tomorrow at 11. For the events starting from the 9th you can
