We are a small, Christian based Sheffield Charity that is making big differences.

Wendy’s heart was captured in 1989 whilst at a small children’s home in the Philippines. After returning from the beach, with the 18 children, a small table had been set for a meal. The children were nowhere to be seen. She asked the housemother whether they had food to eat and the reply was ‘We ate yesterday and maybe we’ll eat tomorrow’.

There was no complaint, no self pity, just a simple statement; yet they produced a meal for Wendy. Cynth’s heart was captured on similar visits and Your Kids Around The World was born.

In light of all the needs experienced, they decided to open up a charity shop in Sheffield. After a lot of hard work and organising, on the 1st of December 2012 the Your Kids Around The World shop was 'officially' opened by Team GB Olympian Nick Robinson-Baker.

Since then, the shop was so popular, we had to move! We moved into our new premises across the road in Woodseats and opened in January 2022, and we are still going strong!

The charity is run by a Board of Trustees, and the goal is still the same - to care for as many children as possible and to give them hope for the future. Our current Chair, Michelle, has spent time in Romania in her youth, and now visits our recipients to build strong relationships and carry out due diligence visits to evidence where funds have gone.

Thanks to our regular supporters who donate and shop with us, we have now been able to give over £700,000 for specific needs to the projects which we support.

Some examples are:

• Providing for every day needs for children in the Philippine Outreach Centre homes

• Funding a basketball court for young people in the Philippine mountains with Alive Ministries

• Contributing towards the building of the Children’s Village for Helping Hands, Healing Hearts

• Funding a worker for Caring in Crisis Africa to lead The Ubuntu Project

• Funding Safe Family workers who support struggling families in Sheffield
