Happi Kids C.I.C - Holiday club fundraiser

Hi, my name is Lavina the Founder of Happi Kids C.I.C.

I am raising funds for Happi Kids, this is a non-profit, dynamic and innovative childcare service dedicated to providing high-quality, enriching experiences for children ages 5 – 11 years old. The service is due to launch the first holiday club in July 2025, for the summer holidays.

As a parent in the local community and by conducted research it has been identified that there is a lack of childcare services and resources. Research shows that within the last five years, 9,000 new homes have been built or are underway in the Royal Docks, including in West Silvertown and Pontoon Docks. Over the next 5 years the Silvertown project aims to deliver approximately 6,500 new homes. The demographics show that around 70% of these households are families with young children, the population of families are increasing in the area but there aren’t enough resources.

We aim to alleviate the childcare burden for working parents while fostering a stimulating and nurturing environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. Our unique approach combines engaging educational activities with a focus on social-emotional development, physical activity and creative expression. We aim to empower the children by teaching them life skills such as cooking, good money management, public speaking, building self-confidence, self-love, entrepreneurship and more.

Happi Kids is dedicated to addressing the critical need for affordable, flexible and sustainable childcare in the West Silvertown, Pontoon Docks, and nearby areas. Our organisation is committed to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment for primary-age children, where they can develop new skills, build healthy memories, and grow into confident individuals. We provide affordable, flexible, community-driven childcare services designed to accommodate the diverse needs of working families, single parents, guardians and carers.

In addition to childcare, Happi Kids will offer workshops and events aimed at empowering parents, teenagers, young people and building community connections. Through these initiatives, we aim to become a cornerstone of support for families and children in the local area. Happi Kids is a safe and stimulating environment not only where children will play and have fun, but to also feel empowered and uplifted. A service delivering value, as our motto says happy hearts, healthy minds.

We believe what makes Happi Kids unique is that we are parent led, with the Founder having a 17- and 6-year-old, her parenting experience brings connection to the community as she understands both child and parenting needs, alongside any challenges. The service is here to add value by delivering a wide range of workshops and activities, focused on health and wellbeing, financial resilience, teaching the children life skills, confidence building, social development plus more. Beyond providing essential care, the club will foster children’s social, emotional, and cognitive growth, preparing them for future academic success. Furthermore, it will empower parents to pursue their career goals with peace of mind, knowing their children are in a nurturing and enriching environment

We aim for parents to leave feeling happy and content with what their children have learned each day, stimulating their minds so that they leave with happy hearts and healthy minds.

With your help donations/funds will be used towards venue hire, staff cost, running cost, supplies, equipment, catering, trips, activities, workshops and any additional costs required.

It would be much appreciated for any donations received nothing is too big or too small, every penny counts. Lets work together as a community to build something amazing to shape our community, empower our children and add value.
