Our commitment to ‘serve to shape and transform’ is core to our strategic vision, so ‘Service’ seemed a most fitting theme for this issue of InTouch.

There are so many remarkable examples of King’s service to society that it was a challenge to select those to share within the pages of InTouch. This issue includes a close look at how King’s Widening Participation programmes are helping empower parents of under-represented children to get the best chance at securing a place at a highly selective university. It also examines how King’s researchers are shedding light on the mental health crisis facing children and young people today. Readers can also find out how the King’s 2018 Global Day of Service impacted communities at home and abroad.
