KidsOut – The Fun & Happiness Charity
Providing positive experiences for some of the UK’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
Each year more than 28,000 children flee domestic abuse to seek sanctuary in refuge.
Typically leaving home with only the clothes on their back, these traumatised children have experienced violent, emotional, and even sexual abuse and arrive at refuge with nothing.
In collaboration with Women’s Aid, partner charities and corporate supporters, KidsOut works to remind these children and thousands of others living with disadvantages what it is like to be children and just have fun.
Just imagine you are a child who…
NEVER receives a gift
NEVER has a brand new toy
NEVER walks on a beach
NEVER goes to a theme park
But you have…
LIVED every day in fear of abuse… and cried yourself to sleep each night
What we do
KidsOut provides positive experiences for some of the UK’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children
Fun Days
From wellbeing workshops, theme parks and even a trip to the cinema, all our Fun Days provide children with new and happy memories to cherish and more importantly something to look forward to.
Toy Boxes
All children who arrive in a Women’s Aid Federation refuge and over 650 independent refuges have the opportunity to receive a box of brand-new toys to make them feel welcome in their new home.
Food Vouchers
We provide food vouchers to families in refuge and those affected by poverty. The vouchers provide a sense of independence for mothers in refuge, as well as helping them during school holidays when school meals are not available.
