Kids Company staff protest over charity’s closure

WORKERS from the Kids Company charity marched to Downing Street yesterday to protest against its closure.

Dozens of supporters carrying banners and chanting: “Save Kids Company, see the child,” marched from the charity’s offices in Camberwell, south London, to the gates of the Whitehall street to raise awareness of the vulnerable people the organisation supported.

The charity was forced to close its doors this week after funding ran out following allegations of financial mismanagement and sexual abuse relating to some of the young people in its care.
