Child Dynamix officially became a charity in March 2005, meaning we’re now in our 20th year. Between now and March 2026 we have a whole host of exciting activities and events to make sure we’re celebrating this very special anniversary year in style!
We’ve created a dedicated section of the website with all the information you need about the 20th Anniversary celebrations and commemorations coming up – make sure you explore it for yourself.
Rumour has it that if you’re not following us on social media, you’re missing out. Check out our Facebook, where every Monday we’ll be posting a photo from the Child Dynamix archive, celebrating the work we’ve done over the last 2 decades. November will see the launch of our video, ‘So, What Will Happen in the Next 20 Years?’, where we asked children from our nurseries and youth centre to look into the future and predict where we’ll be in 20 years’ time. We’re all keeping our fingers crossed that the flying cars prediction will become a reality…
We’ve created special 20th anniversary merchandise, so you can show off your support in style. These limited edition products are available to order through our website, with all profits made going to fund Child Dynamix’s continued work.
We’re also making sure we recognise those generous donors who help us continue our important work – so later this year we’re launching our Donor Wall and Parent Star Board. Just one way of saying thanks to the amazing supporters we have.
The Youth Team have also been hard at work creating art to celebrate this milestone. They were given the theme of ‘birthday celebration’ and told to create any project they desired around this topic. We’ve loved seeing the incredibly varied and creative poems, paintings and drawings they’ve made. In December we will be proudly showcasing the work they’ve done on a dedicated area of our website.
And this is only the start! Alongside this, we have lots of exciting events coming up to both celebrate the achievements of the past 20 years, and raise money for Child Dynamix in the process.
In September the children go back to school, so it’s also time to put your brain in gear, with the Child Dynamix 20th Anniversary Quiz. Bring along your team and battle it out in our quiz that will cover film, sport, general knowledge and more, including a few twists along the way… Get your tickets now!
In October we have the launch of Child Dynamix: Operation October. For a suggested £20 donation, you get to become one of our special agents. Each weekend you will be sent a ‘mission’ to complete before the end of Sunday. You will get active, explore your community, and get creative. A fantastic activity to get the whole family involved in – suitable for all ages and a great way to spend time together. You can sign up here.
In January we’ll be hosting our Nursery Reunion. Former parents, staff and attendees of all of our settings will be invited to back one of our nurseries to look at how things have changed and developed over the years. We’re sure for many this trip down memory lane will highlight just how much time flies!
In March 2026 we are officially at the end of our 20th year, so we’ll be going out with a bang at our 20th Anniversary Charity Gala. Hosted at the MKM Stadium, and with the Lord Mayor in attendance, during this special event our guests will be treated to a 3 course meal and entertainment. The perfect way to round off a packed schedule of celebrations, whilst doing some good in the process.
We’re so excited to have so much to look forward to, and we hope you are too. Your continued support and generosity has enabled us to transform the lives of children and families across the Hull area, and we hope in another 20 years we’ll still be going strong as ever, continuing to provide vital support to those who need us.
