KidsOut continue to offer every child in refuge a free ODEON cinema voucher for the New Year 2022. So far this year, we have provided 4,618 vouchers (2,844 children, 1,744 adults).

So far, this opportunity has proved invaluable to the women and children it benefits and many have provided feedback:

“Thank you so much, this will make the kids very happy! Some of the kids have never been to the cinema and it gives us the opportunity to take them, or they lack social skills so this can be incorporated into the experience. You’re absolute stars!” – Behavioural therapist

“Thank you for all the support you give us to help the families to make memories while they are in refuge, it is a daunting time when they first come through the door and these activities help relieve pressure on the mums and the family can have quality time together in a safe environment” – Child support worker

“I would like to say thank you for taking Uthman to watch Spider-Man. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Opportunities like this help him build his confidence and give him a chance to enjoy new experiences. He gets to spend time with his playscheme buddies which he loves. Uthman doesn’t have many friends aside from school so attending helps him with improving his speech and social skills.” – Mum

“One child was so excited about going to the cinema with his friends and said he did not feel left out, he was able to take part in an activity that he usually would never been able to do due to the cost.” – Refuge worker

KidsOut would like to thank ODEON for helping us provide opportunities like this, and we look forward to working with you in the future.
