Camila Batmanghelidjh

We were very sorry to hear of the death on 1 January of Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids Company.

SITC worked closely with Camila, who attended Sherborne School for Girls, over several years.
Sherborne House in Bermondsey was one of the main centres for Kids Company, and hosted a wide range of activities, workshops and therapy sessions up until the charity’s closure in 2015.

Camila was an inspirational leader who made a big impact on everyone she met. She will be
remembered for her innovative work with thousands of young people, her passionate advocacy for vulnerable children and her formidable fundraising skills. She was also very good company and was a pleasure to work with.
​
We send our condolences to her family and friends and to all those she worked with during her
unique career.
