On Friday 28th and Saturday 29th June 2024, PQA Northampton enthusiastically participated in our latest fundraising campaign, ‘Change for KidsAid,’ raising a fantastic £250 to support our work.
Students and teachers from PQA took part in the initiative by swapping their usual attire for KidsAid colours—pink, green, orange, and blue—in exchange for donations. This event was a resounding success, with many PQA students showing their commitment and dedication to our cause.
The Principal of PQA Northampton, Alistair Lloyd-McCalla, shared:
“PQA Northampton has chosen to support KidsAid because we believe the work the organisation does to support young people through trauma is invaluable and helps secure the future of our communities. Without this additional support, many effects of trauma may go unnoticed and unresolved. We also partnered with KidsAid because of the similarities in our use of creative arts practices, as part of our therapies, which solidifies that somewhere like PQA Northampton can help build confidence and foster relationships among young people with shared interests.”
KidsAid deeply appreciates PQA Northampton’s enthusiastic response and dedication. Their support will significantly impact the lives of vulnerable children, providing essential therapeutic interventions to help them heal and thrive.
We are proud to partner with an inspiring organisation like PQA Northampton that shares our values and approach. With supporters like PQA Northampton, we can raise awareness and reach even more children and families in need of therapeutic support. Without the support from the business community, such as PQA Northampton, our work would simply not be possible.
KidsAid encourages other schools, organisations, and businesses to join the Change for KidsAid initiative and make a difference in their communities.

KidsAid came into existence in 2007 when a group of professionals working with families came to realise how little provision was available for children and young people who had suffered from trauma.
Zac was 10 years old when he was referred to KidsAid. Zac had experienced a breakdown of several foster placements and there were concerns that another placement was at risk as his most recent carers were struggling to manage his behaviour.
KidsAid relies on donations to offer life-changing therapies. Our organisation is supported by the donations we receive from the amazing businesses and individuals who want to improve the lives of the Children of Northamptonshire who need our help.
