Can you be a happy memory maker for a child in need?
Gift match tickets or experiences to vulnerable children
KidsOut is proud to partner with the amazing publishers of The Non-League Paper, The Rugby Paper, The Football League Paper, and The Cricket Paper, Greenways Publishing, to launch a nationwide initiative that provides vulnerable children with unforgettable days out at football, rugby, and cricket clubs across the UK.
Greenways Publishing group, is one of the UK’s leading sports publishers, and home of several sports titles reaching millions of readers every week. They are reaching out to all clubs across the UK to gift tickets to matches, and or other fun experiences for some of the UK’s most disadvantaged children.
Can you donate tickets to matches or events and give disadvantaged children something to look forward to?
For 35 years, KidsOut has been dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children across the UK. We provide essential support and joyful experiences to children facing some of life’s most challenging circumstances, including thousands of children, who along with their parent, have fled domestic abuse and found safety in one of over 650 women’s refuges and safe houses across the UK.
“As a proud support of KidsOut, I have seen just how much a fun day out means to these vulnerable children. I ask you to please join in and make a difference to their lives.”
These children have often witnessed or experienced emotional, violent, or sexual abuse, and typically arrive at a refuge with nothing more than the clothes they are wearing. Having left everything familiar behind them, including family, friends, pets, possessions, and their schools, the children face the difficult reality of living in a refuge, usually sharing a single room with their parent and siblings. Many will spend up to two years in this temporary accommodation as they rebuild their lives in safety.
“I ask all clubs to support this wonderful cause. These outings lead to the creation of joyful experiences that contrast with their previous circumstances, helping to reinforce a sense of hope and positivity.”
“I have seen how KidsOut have changed the lives of some of the most vulnerable children. Engaging in such activities provides an emotional release, helping children process their feelings in a healthy way. I am proud to be associated with Champions for Change and I ask clubs to be part of this wonderful project.”
This traumatic experience can have a profound effect on the child’s emotional well-being, and they may struggle with feelings of instability, loss, and confusion.
We also support other vulnerable including children who live in poverty, have a life-limiting disability or illness, are a carer for their parent or sibling or are victims of crime.
“I am delighted to be part of this incredible project to help give disadvantaged children the opportunity to make new and happier memories.”
Among the many smaller clubs and organisations already taking part, there is also The Rugby League, Leeds United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Manchester United. However, with the charity supporting thousands of children right across the UK we need help for children living locally to you.
