Supporting Families for the Long Term – KLASP in Enfield

The KLASP charity shop in Enfield plays an important role in supporting the work of Kith & Kids through its Kith & Kids Life-time Advocacy Support Project (KLASP).

KLASP provides active, ongoing support to older families who care for adult sons and daughters with profound learning disabilities, autism, and/or physical disabilities. As parents age, many face increasing concerns about their child’s future, wellbeing, and long-term security. KLASP exists to ensure that these families are not facing those challenges alone.

The project offers practical advocacy, guidance, and consistent personal support. This can include help navigating health and social care systems, planning for future care arrangements, accessing appropriate services, and ensuring that the voices of individuals with complex needs are heard and respected. The emphasis is on dignity, stability, and lifelong safeguarding.

The Enfield charity shop helps fund this vital work. Every donated item and every purchase contributes directly to sustaining services that make a meaningful difference in families’ lives. Beyond fundraising, the shop also raises awareness within the local community about the realities faced by families caring for adults with complex disabilities.

KLASP’s approach is rooted in compassion, continuity, and long-term commitment. Rather than short-term intervention, it provides reassurance and structured support over time — something that becomes increasingly important as family carers grow older.

By supporting the KLASP charity shop in Enfield, the community helps ensure that vulnerable adults and their families receive the advocacy and security they deserve, both now and in the years ahead.
