That Kid Life - creative wellbeing for children and families

Welcome to That Kid Life - Essex’s inclusive art and craft hub.

We bring local families together and support young people through the power of hands-on creativity. From fully funded community events, vibrant festival pop-ups and after-school clubs to specialised 1:1 outreach for children with complex SEND and EOTAS plans, everything we do is designed to inspire confidence, foster wellbeing and make creative play accessible to all. That Kid Life operates on a non-profit-making basis; any surplus is reinvested back into providing creative opportunities locally.
