🌟 About Gold Star Kids C.I.C.

Gold Star Kids C.I.C. is a not-for-profit organisation supporting children, families, and young adults with free, meaningful learning and wellbeing resources.

We believe education and emotional development should be engaging, empowering, and accessible to everyone — especially those facing barriers. Our work spans two core areas:

🎨 Creative Sustainability Learning for Children and Families

We design playful, inclusive educational materials that make learning fun and memorable. Whether it’s printable worksheets, hands-on activities, or beautiful posters, we help children explore big ideas in ways that feel joyful, accessible, and empowering.

We focus on:

• 🌱 Environmental awareness
• 🌍 Climate change and sustainability
• 💚 Health and wellbeing through connecting with nature

These resources are designed especially for families, schools, and communities who may face financial challenges — helping ensure that every child has access to inspiring, high-quality learning tools.

🌱 Wellbeing Support for Teens and Young Adults

We also run wellbeing programmes for young people who’ve experienced childhood adversity and neurodiversity. Through trauma-aware group sessions and a self-guided workbook, we support young adults to:

• Build self-worth and emotional resilience
• Set meaningful goals
• Understand themselves and their past
• Move forward with confidence and purpose

This programme is grounded in lived experience and our positive psychology research, and co-designed with local partners in Darlington. It’s built to be inclusive, empowering, and responsive to the real lives of the young people we serve.

🤝 Collaboration & Approach

As a UK-based community interest company, we are always looking to collaborate with local schools, educators, and organisations. If you share our passion for creative education, mental wellbeing, and community-led solutions, we’d love to hear from you.

Our approach is informal and playful. We believe learning should feel like an adventure — not a test. Children and young people thrive when they’re encouraged to explore, question, and imagine.

Through storytelling, games, discovery-based activities, and nature-themed topics, we aim to foster curiosity, empathy, and a deep sense of purpose.

Ultimately, Gold Star Kids C.I.C. exists to help grow a generation of young people who care deeply about themselves, others, and the world around them — young people who feel connected, capable, and ready to make a difference.
