Thank You to The National Lottery Community Fund

We are delighted to announce that Kane’s World Foundation has been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.

On behalf of everyone at Kane’s World Foundation, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund and to National Lottery players, whose support makes funding like this possible.

This award is far more than financial support. It is recognition of the need that exists within our community and the importance of creating inclusive opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and their families.

Kane’s World Foundation was created from a desire to make life a little easier, more accessible, and more inclusive for families navigating the challenges that can come with additional needs. Since then, we have been privileged to welcome hundreds of families into our community and witness first-hand the difference that acceptance, understanding, and accessible activities can make.

This funding will enable us to expand our support, deliver more activities, create new opportunities for families to connect, and continue building spaces where children can participate, thrive, and be themselves without judgement.

Most importantly, it will help us create more positive experiences, more lasting memories, and more opportunities for families to feel supported and understood.

We would also like to thank every family, volunteer, supporter, donor, partner, and advocate who has been part of our journey so far. Your encouragement, trust, and belief in what we are building have helped make this possible.

This funding marks an exciting new chapter for Kane’s World Foundation, and we look forward to continuing our work alongside the families and communities we serve.

Thank you once again to The National Lottery Community Fund for believing in our vision and helping us create a more inclusive future for SEND children and their families.

Claire Siemaszkiewicz, Trustee of Kane’s World Foundation, said:

“We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund and to National Lottery players for making this funding possible. For many SEND families, finding activities where their children feel genuinely welcomed and understood can be extremely difficult. This funding will allow us to create more opportunities for families to come together, build friendships, gain confidence and make positive memories in an environment designed around their needs. This award is also recognition of the importance of the work being carried out by our volunteers, supporters and the families themselves. We are excited to continue growing our impact and helping more children feel accepted exactly as they are.”

Kelly Knight, Founder of Kane’s World Foundation, said:

“Kane’s World was created from lived experience and a determination to ensure that no family feels alone in their journey. Every event, activity and support session we deliver is designed to remove barriers and create opportunities for children to thrive. This funding will allow us to reach even more families and continue building a community where everyone feels they belong.”
