Gok Wan teams up with Kids Company, who offer young people from disadvantaged backgrounds emotional, educational and practical support. Kids Company works with 36,000 children and young people, 84% of whom have experienced homelessness. Gok is shocked to see the reality of daily life for some Kids Company students, from living in squalid conditions, to parents being murdered, and finding themselves homeless at a young age. Getting work for young people is extremely tough in the current climate but Kids Company believe they have a solution that combines training with their own brand of unique support: a pioneering course aimed at getting some of the most challenging young people into work. The charity's founder Camila Batmanghelidjh tasks him with teaching a crash course in fashion to inspire the young people, while Kids Company deal with the students' major behavioral issues. Alongside Kids Company key workers, Gok has a week to teach the trainees self-discipline and skills for the workplace while creating a range of T-shirts as a pilot social enterprise.
