Community chat with host Sandie de Freitas

This week we ichat with Lindsay and Tanya from The charity KIDS UP FRONT.

At Kids Up Front we believe all children deserve to experience the magic of the theatre or the excitement of a hockey game. It is our business to make sure children and their families affected by poverty, abuse, illness as well as newcomers to Toronto gain exposure to our community through the distribution of tickets. Our program, with your support, means:

• Children benefit from developing a sense of belonging; feeling included; gaining
  exposure to “normal” childhood experiences
• Parents benefit from feeling valued; having the means to give their child a special
  experience; re-connecting with their child in apositive way
• Families benefit from sharing constructive leisure activities; encouraging positive social interaction between parents, children and siblings; healing and strengthening relationships
• Communities benefit from having engaged citizens; strengthening of community values; inspiring future leaders.
